I thought I would be able to get this post done yesterday on the airplane, but unfortunately the wifi wasn’t strong enough. So better late than never, Weekend Links Week 51 is here thanks to jet lag! Some of my favorites from this week include an article about Christmas in Strasbourg, a great list of small towns in France to visit, a guide to Champagne (the region!), and photos from the Lyon light festival. Enjoy!
