Christmas Market of Fontenay-aux-Roses

The Christmas Market of Fontenay-aux-Roses Artists

Every December, the town of Fontenay-aux-Roses in Hauts-de-Seine offers an original Christmas market that places local artists and artisans at the heart of the festivities. Far from standardized markets, this event highlights local creation within a strong cultural framework: the Espace Rosa Bonheur, the town's cultural hub.

Espace Rosa Bonheur: an exceptional cultural setting

The Espace Rosa Bonheur, located at 20 Avenue Jean Moulin, is the main cultural facility in Fontenay-aux-Roses. It houses the media library and several spaces dedicated to culture. During the Christmas market, its spaces transform into a living art gallery, hosting a selection of artists and artisans who present and sell their creations directly to the public.

A market dedicated to local creation

The uniqueness of the Fontenay-aux-Roses Artists' Christmas Market lies in its resolutely original creation focus. You can find:

• Paintings and graphic arts — oils, watercolors, acrylics, drawings, prints
• Sculptures — ceramics, wood, metal, stone
• Decoration — original decorative objects and unique creations
• Art objects — handmade jewelry, lighting, textile art
• Illustration and publishing — illustrated books, cards, original posters

This market is an opportunity for the residents of Fontenay-aux-Roses and neighboring towns to discover talented local artists and acquire original works for their Christmas gifts, in a spirit of support for local artistic creation.

A complete festive program

Beyond the market itself, the town livens up the Christmas festivities with a rich program:

• The town organizes festive shows on Avenue Jean Moulin
• A meeting with Santa Claus delights children
• A distribution of hot chocolate, mulled wine, and Christmas brioche is planned on the parvis of Rosa Bonheur
• Musical and artistic entertainment punctuates the event
