The Notre-Dame de Paris Christmas Market is a special one this year, with the Cathedral reopening in early December. From November 29 to December 25, 2024, visitors will flock to Square Viviani for French crafts and gastronomy, as well as free entertainment for children, including Santa Claus.

The Notre-Dame de Paris Christmas Market, one of the capital' smost beautiful and charming Christmas markets , takes on a new dimension in 2024 with the long-awaited reopening of the cathedral. From November 29 to December 25, 2024, the historic and enchanting Square René Viviani will play host to dozens of French artisans, showcasing exceptional creations and regional products in an enchanting atmosphere.

This edition promises to be unique: it celebrates the rebirth of Notre-Dame after its closure in 2019 for restoration. To mark the occasion, artist-craftsmen have come up with original works, such as bas-reliefs inspired by the cathedral's rosettes and a pendant representing the famous Stryge gargoyle. This market, organized for over 15 years by the association L'Art et la Seine, is also committed to a cause of solidarity, in partnership with Maison Harmonia, an association that supports young autistic people.

Discover a wealth of French crafts: silver and vermeil jewelry, ceramics, textiles, wooden toys and sculptures. Each piece is made in France, a tribute to skills that are often threatened. The gastronomic market features regional specialties such as foie gras, mature cheeses, macaroons, mulled wine and roasted chestnuts.

In addition to the chalets, the atmosphere will be enhanced by entertainment for young and old alike: a drawing competition, children's storytelling and live music from 4pm. It's also an opportunity for families to meet Santa Claus, a must-see who delights children. This enchanting setting, with the oldest tree in Paris as a backdrop, promises a warm and friendly moment.

This year, the Marché de Noël Paris Notre-Dame extends the pleasure to 27 days, a week longer than previous editions. This extra time reflects the importance of this historic event, and gives everyone the chance to discover this celebration, which combines tradition, culture and gastronomy in the heart of Paris.

In short, you won't want to miss this year's Paris Notre-Dame Christmas Market, which runs from November 29 to December 25, 2024, in the enchanting Square René Viviani, a stone's throw from the cathedral. Free of charge, it's open every day from 10am to 8pm, with extended hours until 9pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Live music is offered from 4pm, with choirs, jazz and brass bands depending on the day.

It's not for nothing that this market was voted"Most charming Christmas market in Paris"!
