Courbevoie Christmas Market

The Courbevoie Gourmet Christmas Market, excellence from the terroir at the gates of La Défense

Courbevoie (92400), a town in the Hauts-de-Seine department adjacent to the business district of La Défense, offers a unique approach to Christmas markets each December with its Gourmet Christmas Market. Far from generalist markets, this event focuses on a curated selection of exceptional producers to offer residents and visitors a memorable gastronomic experience just days before the New Year's Eve feast.

Treasures of French Terroir Gathered in One Place

The Courbevoie Gourmet Christmas Market is above all a celebration of French gastronomy and its artisanal producers. Lovers of fine dining will find their delight: fresh Périgord truffles, the black diamond of French cuisine, offered by truffle growers who travel especially for the occasion; farm-raised foie gras and duck breasts from artisanal farms; artisanal charcuterie from the best regional traditions; quality wines and champagnes selected from top houses and independent winemakers.

A Christmas Market with a Gastronomic Dimension

This gastronomic focus clearly distinguishes the Courbevoie Gourmet Christmas Market from the generalist Christmas markets in the Paris region. Here, food craftsmanship reigns supreme, and each exhibitor is selected for the superior quality of their production. The market meets the real demand of an urban and discerning clientele seeking authentic products to enhance their festive meals, from refined starters to desserts and food and wine pairings.

A Historic Square

The market is held on the parvis of the Appel du 1er Février 1954, a symbolic location in Courbevoie whose name recalls the famous appeal by Abbé Pierre launched that winter for the homeless. This commemorative dimension gives the market a special depth: celebrating gastronomy and sharing in a place that reminds us of the importance of solidarity, especially during the winter season.

Courbevoie and La Défense, Two Faces of the Same City

Courbevoie is a multifaceted city: a residential and family-friendly commune on one hand, it also hosts some of the most iconic towers of La Défense, Europe's leading business district, on the other. This duality is reflected in its approach to Christmas festivities: at the foot of the skyscrapers, the city preserves its neighborhood traditions, its producer markets, and its local events, reminding us that contemporary urbanity and the values of the terroir can coexist harmoniously.
