Christmas Market of Neuilly-Plaisance

The Christmas Market of Neuilly-Plaisance: A Family Celebration at the Gates of the Forest

Every year in December, the Town Hall square in Neuilly-Plaisance (93360) is adorned with its finest lights to host the commune's Christmas market. A family-friendly town in Seine-Saint-Denis, bordered by the Bondy forest, Neuilly-Plaisance cultivates a human-sized festive tradition that is fully reflected in this end-of-year event, appreciated by its 22,000 inhabitants.

Carefully Selected Artisans and Creators

The market brings together about twenty wooden chalets run by local artisans, creators, and gourmet producers. You can find handmade jewelry, decorative items, natural care products, ceramics, and original textiles alongside seasonal culinary specialties: honey from Île-de-France, artisanal jams, fine chocolates, Alsatian bredeles, spiced mulled wine, and roasted chestnuts. The emphasis is on quality and proximity, with a selection that favors producers from the Île-de-France region as much as possible.

Activities for the Whole Family

Beyond the market, the town organizes a program of activities that delight young and old alike. Children can enjoy a Christmas carousel, supervised creative workshops, and a visit to Santa Claus in his decorated chalet. Choir concerts and musical entertainment liven up the square throughout the weekends, creating a festive and friendly atmosphere. The illuminations of the Town Hall square and the surrounding shopping streets add to the special charm of this winter event.

A Market Rooted in Local Community Life

Organized by the town hall in partnership with local associations and downtown merchants, the Neuilly-Plaisance Christmas market is also an opportunity for sports clubs, cultural associations, and neighborhood committees to present their activities and raise funds for their projects. This rooting in community life gives the market a participatory dimension that distinguishes it from purely commercial events.

The proximity of the Neuilly-Plaisance RER E station provides easy access to the market from Paris and neighboring towns, making this event accessible for the whole family.

A Moment to Take Your Time

In a season often synonymous with rush and stress, the Neuilly-Plaisance Christmas Market invites you to slow down and savor the magic of winter. The sparkling illuminations, the scents of mulled wine and cinnamon, the gentle music of the choirs, and the laughter of children create an atmosphere that reconciles you with the authentic spirit of Christmas. An event not to be missed for families from the commune and its surroundings.
