Difficulty: Intermediate

À Strasbourg, on ne chôme pas! Les décorations de l'immense arbre de Noël de la Place Kléber prennent trois semaines de travail pour se parer. Des centaines de lumières, des boules de cristal créées à Saint Louis... Du haut de ses trente-et-un mètres, le grand sapin de la place Kléber fait la joie des visiteurs et des Strasbourgeois, même s'il a un petit air penché... malgré toute l'expérience d'Antoinette Pfimlin qui n'a pas su le remettre bien droit.
