Christmas igloos removed in Ypres

According to alderman Diego Desmadryl, this happened on the one hand as a precaution because fierce winds were predicted, but on the other hand also because of vandalism to the Christmas igloos.

Normally, the Christmas igloos, which were placed this winter as a replacement for the skating rink, had to remain in place until January 8. But that has now come to an end a week earlier.

Green circles with some tree bark around them remind us of the places where the igloos used to be.
