The charming village of Janvry comes alive for Christmas 2024! Among the most beautiful Christmas Markets around Paris, here's one that's well worth the detour. Every year, the village of Janvry, with its 630 inhabitants, is transformed into a veritable showcase of festivities.
For this 27th edition, organized by the Comité des Fêtes, the village is expecting between 70,000 and 80,000 visitors. An impressive turnout for such a small village, proof of the event's renown. Between 35 and 40 volunteers have been hard at work preparing the market. Costumes, illuminations, decorations, merry-go-rounds and the inevitable nativity scenes - everything is ready for everyone to experience a magical moment.
With over a hundred exhibitors spread over two weekends, you'll discover a variety of regional, gastronomic and artisanal products. A rigorous selection process guarantees the quality of the stands. It's an opportunity to unearth original gift ideas and savor local specialties. Stalls are set up all over the town, and even take over the barns for some great discoveries. On the food front, there's a wide range of delicacies, from the enormous tartiflette to Egg Waffle roblochon, aligot, mulled wine, chestnuts cooked on site and hot chocolate, all at affordable prices. On the sweet side, crêpes, waffles, but also pommes d'amour and cotton candy await you.
The arrival of Santa Claus is always an eagerly awaited moment. Every year, his entrance is more spectacular, with a parade and lighting effects. Every year, children are delighted to meet and talk to him. There are also plenty ofanimated automatons to bring the magic of Christmas to life, two free trains that take you around to the free zoo, and small rides to delight the little ones.
Don't miss the church passageway, which is well worth a visit for its incredible display. You'll discover hundreds of nativity scenes from all over the world, in all shapes and sizes. It's a visit we absolutely recommend.
The Janvry Christmas Market is much more than just a market. It's an experience, a journey to the heart of Christmas magic. We go there to shop, of course, but also for the atmosphere, the encounters and the memories. It's worth noting that this market, enthusiastically run by village volunteers, attracts so many people that it's so authentic. If you want to make the most of it, why not go in the morning? In any case, it's a wonderful discovery to make.
