Christmas village

Venue: Port Hercule

Annual Christmas market

From 2nd December to 2nd January, the promenade Albert 1er overlooking the port is transformed into a Christmas village. This year's centrepiece is a "castle of delicacies" that contains an exhibition of costumes and photos of the Casse-noisette Circus ballet by Dominique Drillot.

A forest of fir trees provides an entrance to the village, where you'll find 32 chalets selling seasonal food and drink, a traditional carousel, ice rink, big wheel, and kiddies' train ride and workshops. Not forgetting the craft stalls.
