In Rambouillet, head to the heart of the Christmas market, on Place Félix Faure, to strap on your ice skates and do a series of laps around the track, trying not to fall! Pitchouns can enjoy a gentle introduction to this winter sport from the ice garden, designed for toddlers to skate in complete safety. Older children can have a blast on the large ice rink: but don't forget to bring gloves, hats and warm socks with you. And, surprise, this year on the ice, a giant Santa Claus, 2.50 m high, and seven different worlds!

After your visit to the ice rink, it's also time to discover the beautiful Rambouillet Christmas market and pick up some handmade, local gift ideas! There's also plenty of room for a gourmet snack break, with hot chocolates and wines, crêpes, waffles... and other heart-warming treats that we love to sample right on the market!
