The Maison du Pain d’Alsace Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree puff pastry, an iconic sweet treat from Sélestat.

In Sélestat, the historic birthplace of the Christmas tree, sweet treats are part of the tradition. In homage to the oldest written reference to the Christmas tree (dating from 1521), the master bakers at Maison du Pain d'Alsace have come up with a unique creation: the Christmas tree puff pastry.

Golden, crispy and deliciously fragrant, this puff pastry tree combines traditional craftsmanship with festive spirit. A delicious symbol of a centuries-old tradition, it can be enjoyed with the family, by the fireside or during a stroll through the Sélestat Christmas market.

An exclusive speciality, to be savoured only here, in the heart of the Christmas tree capital.
