About Medieval Christmas Taulignan
Taulignan: A Christmas Market in a Medieval Setting
Every year, on the last weekend of November, the fortified village of Taulignan opens its doors to an exceptional Medieval Christmas Market. This charming town in Drôme provençale, famous for its eleven medieval towers and ramparts, offers a naturally authentic setting for a Christmas market that transports visitors to the Middle Ages.
Over 95 Selected Artisans
The market brings together over 95 artisans rigorously selected for the quality of their handmade creations. The village's alleys, squares, and lanes transform into a maze of stalls offering: artisanal jewelry, leather goods, pottery, nougat, sewing, fabrics, Christmas decorations, traditional delicacies, and many other artisanal treasures. The selection guarantees authentic, high-quality products, far from mass production.

The Taulignan Christmas Market stands out with its 12 free animations that immerse visitors in the medieval world:
- Recreated medieval camp with knights and period artisans
- Archery initiation
- Live shows with medieval musicians and orchestra
- Fire show at dusk
- Pony rides
- Wooden games and an eco-friendly carousel
Daytime Highlights
The midday medieval meal, served by reservation, allows you to taste the flavors of yesteryear in a festive atmosphere. The arrival of Santa Claus at 4 PM and 7:30 PM delights children. At the end of the day, spelt soup, mulled wine, and roasted chestnuts warm visitors in the illuminated alleys, before the fire show that beautifully concludes the evening.

Classified as a village of character, it preserves a remarkable medieval heritage that gives its Christmas market its magical charm. Admission is free, making the event accessible to all.
