Christmas Market of Le Touquet
If Le Touquet were told to me: the magic of Christmas on the Opal Coast
About Christmas in Le Touquet
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage Celebrates
Each year, the seaside resort of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage transforms into an enchanted village with the program “Si Le Touquet m'était conté”. From late November to early January, the town unveils an exceptional festive setup, making Le Touquet one of the most sought-after Christmas destinations on the Opal Coast.
A Magical Light Trail
The heart of the Touquet magic is the light trail that guides visitors through the illuminated streets of the resort. The facades of Le Touquet's iconic buildings serve as a backdrop for a video mapping show, projected every 20 minutes on weekends starting from late November, and then daily during school holidays, from 6 PM to 9 PM.
The Christmas Village
Chalets from local merchants and artisans are set up in the town center, offering handmade creations, gift ideas, and gourmet specialties. Santa Claus's house welcomes children, while a village for good children offers activities and entertainment dedicated to the youngest ones.
Ice Rink and Attractions
Place du Centenaire hosts a large 460 m² ice rink, a key attraction of the program. Carousels and other entertainment complete the leisure offerings for the whole family.
The Grand Christmas Parade
The grand Christmas parade is the most spectacular event of the program. A large parade of illuminated floats, costumed characters, and artists winds through the resort's streets at dusk, in a magical atmosphere that draws thousands of spectators.
The Covered Market
The Covered Market of Le Touquet, an emblematic venue of the resort, hosts the Christmas Market organized by the Amicale du Personnel Communal et Para-Communal, on a Sunday in December, featuring local artisans and producers.
