For Christmas, one of the most charming markets will reopen its doors on December 12 and 13, promising—as it does every year—a wonderful time. For one weekend, you can enjoy mulled wine, chocolate waffles, and an absolutely magical setting, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s sure to immerse you in the magic of the holiday season!
An immersive medieval Christmas market just an hour from Paris…
From December 12 to 13, head to the stunning medieval town of Provins, just 1 hour from Paris, which will be transformed into a magical Christmas village. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Provins will welcome you—as it does every year—with its perfectly preserved setting. You’ll find local artisans, small-scale creators, and food vendors on site to treat you to delicious treats. It’s the perfect opportunity to indulge to your heart’s content by devouring chocolate waffles or warming up with a nice glass of spiced mulled wine…
The Christmas market is also a great opportunity to stock up on gifts to place under the tree: decorations, jewelry, candles, accessories… These items are often one-of-a-kind, handcrafted by passionate artisans.
Free shows to enjoy all weekend long!
This fully immersive Christmas market will transport you back to the Middle Ages! Throughout the weekend, you’ll encounter knights, troubadours, fire-eaters, and even merchants dressed in period costumes!
But it’s especially after dark that the market takes on a fairy-tale atmosphere. Lit by candlelight and string lights, you’ll simply be amazed by the beauty of the setting. If you’re not familiar with this medieval town, this is the best time to appreciate all its beauty: from its fortified ramparts to its half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets, you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to another era.
