La Rochelle Christmas Market

A Christmas Market by the Ocean

Each year in December, La Rochelle adorns itself in its finest attire to host its traditional Christmas Market. Located on two emblematic sites in the city, Place Verdun and Cours des Dames, the market offers about twenty chalets where artisans and creators present their productions.

Crafts and Local Products

The Christmas Market highlights Charentais craftsmanship and local products. Christmas decorations, handmade jewelry, gastronomic specialties, mulled wine, and sweet treats create a festive atmosphere appreciated by locals and visitors alike.

Animations and Christmas Magic

Beyond the chalets, the Christmas Market offers activities for all ages: magical illuminations, Christmas character parades, and various activities that enchant the city center throughout the holiday season.
