The Grand'Place in Boulogne-Billancourt hosts its Christmas market from November 25 to December 31, 2026, right in front of the Les Passages shopping center. The section located on rue Le Corbusier closes earlier, on Thursday, December 24.

Chalets and Santa Claus
Around 40 red-and-white chalets, manufactured in France by the organizer 2A Organisation, host artisans, designers, and producers (nativity figurines, jewelry, decorations, wooden toys, gourmet specialties). Santa Claus will welcome children in his chalet on Wednesday, December 16, Friday, December 18, Saturday, December 19, and Sunday, December 20; a mailbox is also available for children to write to him throughout the market.
Solidarity and environmental commitment
Three charity chalets highlight local organizations. A one-euro solidarity deposit is applied to reusable cups: if returned to a vendor, the euro is refunded; if placed in a dedicated collection bin, it is donated to partner charities, including Ruban Rose and Les Petits Curieux. The organizer also notes that the chalets are unheated, use LED lighting, and provide on-site waste sorting.

The Christmas Market of Boulogne-Billancourt: An Enchanted Village in the Heart of the City
For several years, the Grand'Place of Boulogne-Billancourt (92100) has been adorned with Christmas colors to host one of the most popular Christmas markets in the Hauts-de-Seine. Every year, from late November until December 24, this market transforms the heart of the city into a true festive village, where residents of Boulogne-Billancourt and surrounding towns gather to stroll, do their year-end shopping, and enjoy the magic of Christmas.
The Christmas Market of Boulogne-Billancourt is organized with the support of the city and managed by event professionals, who ensure each year to offer a qualitative selection of merchants and provide new entertainment.
Forty Red and White Chalets
At the heart of the market are forty red and white chalets, carefully decorated, housing a selection of artisans, creators, and producers wishing to showcase their know-how. You'll find a wide variety of products: artisanal jewelry, Provençal santons (nativity figures), decorative items, wooden toys, fashion accessories and textiles, as well as gastronomic specialties — cheeses, charcuterie, jams, honey, chocolates, foie gras — that delight lovers of good food.
The chalets also offer original gift ideas for all budgets: leather goods, natural cosmetics, creative stationery, decorative objects, clothing, and toys. The market is an invitation to step away from mass-produced items and offer authentic, carefully crafted presents.
Christmas Entertainment and Delicacies
Beyond shopping, the Christmas Market of Boulogne-Billancourt is above all a place for life and sharing. Numerous activities punctuate the weeks of the market:
- Rides and games for children: a small train, carousel, fishing game, giant slide, and other attractions delight the youngest visitors.
- Santa Claus is present in his own chalet, accessible every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday from 2 PM to 6 PM. Children can give him their letters and take a souvenir photo.
- Stage entertainment: street shows, parades, and artistic performances are scheduled throughout the market, especially on weekends.
- Gourmet specialties: mulled wine with spices, roasted chestnuts, gingerbread, crepes, hot chocolate, and other seasonal treats are offered by the food stalls.
Spectacular One-Off Events
Each edition features special highlight events that draw crowds. In 2025, several events marked the edition:
- Floral dancers animated the Grand'Place on Saturday, November 29, creating a visual spectacle in the evening.
- A grand Christmas Parade crossed the market on Sunday, December 7, with decorated floats, costumed characters, and festive music.
- A Christmas mascot met families on Saturday, December 13.
These events are always free and accessible to all market visitors.
Opening Hours and Access
The market is open 7 days a week, from 10 AM to 9 PM (early closing at 6 PM on December 24). Its central location in Boulogne-Billancourt, one of the most populous towns in the Hauts-de-Seine, makes it easily accessible from Paris and the entire western inner suburbs.
