Clamecy, a Town of Character
Clamecy is a city of art and history located at the confluence of the Beuvron and Yonne rivers, in northern Nièvre. A former capital of timber rafting to Paris, it retains an exceptional architectural heritage with its Saint-Martin collegiate church, medieval houses, and bridges spanning the Yonne. The Christmas Market naturally fits into this historic setting.

The Clamecy Christmas Market has become a must-attend event that brings together locals from Haut-Nivernais and visitors in a warm and festive atmosphere. It contributes to the winter animation of this charming small town and showcases the artisanal know-how of the region.
