Vincennes celebrates Christmas from December 8, 2023 to January 7, 2024! On the program? The traditional Christmas Market and its unique gift ideas, an ice rink to show off your best tricks, horse-drawn carriage rides and enchanted parades, and even the famous Christmas carols.

And then again, it's the end of the year! Adults fall back into childhood, while youngsters start to dream, the lights twinkle by the thousands, artisanal products are revealed on the stalls of the wooden chalets, and gourmets let themselves be tempted by a few regional specialities. Christmas Markets are back! From the most traditional to the most original, not forgetting the "Marchés de Noël solidaires"... every year they attract a large number of enthusiasts.

If they're numerous in Paris, they're also numerous in the Île-de-France region! From December 13 to 15, 2024, just outside Paris in the Val-de-Marne, you'll find the Vincennes Christmas Market.

Head for Rue du Midi and Rue Raymond du Temple, to pick up great gift ideas, Christmas decorations, wooden toys and handcrafted jewelry... On the gourmet side, you'll find regional honey, farmhouse cider, Canadian specialties and even a Reunionese grocery store featuring vanilla. Of course, crêpes and waffles will also be on offer!

But the magic of Christmas in Vincennes goes far beyond that! With ice rinks, horse-drawn carriage rides, enchanted parades, shows and carols, there's something for all the family!
