The festive season is back in Paris and the Île-de-France region. Whether you're looking for a great gift or an original stroll, here are the unusual Christmas markets to visit in the Paris region.

As we move into the winter season, the Paris region is gradually caught up in the magic of the festive season. Streets are lit up, fir trees are decked out in lights, department store windows come to life, and the joy of the festive season overtakes us. The festivities are synonymous with joy and reunion, gourmet delights and precious moments.

And on the menu of not-to-be-missed traditions in Paris and the Île-de-France region are the Christmas Markets, with their chalet-like stalls offering talented artisans, passionate creators, mouth-watering gourmet nuggets and local produce for the festive table. They blossom in the four corners of the Paris region, each taking us into a different universe.

For those with a thirst for the unusual, this is the perfect opportunity to discover the original strolls we're planning this year. We take you on a tour of the unusual Christmas markets that await us in 2024 in Paris and the Île-de-France region.
