Alsace-Moselle local law and Christmas markets

Grand Est contains a unique statutory legal regime in France: in the departments of Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin, and Moselle (Alsace-Moselle), historical local law maintains Good Friday and Saint Stephen's Day (26 December) as mandatory statutory public holidays.
The region is historic for the historic Christmas markets of Strasbourg and Colmar, and celebrates Saint Nicholas on 6 December with grand processions across Lorraine and Alsace. School holidays follow Zone B.
