Ermont Christmas Market

Ermont Celebrates Christmas in its Park

Ermont is a residential town in the Vallée de Montmorency, well-served by rail with two stations on RER C and Transilien line H. This prime location, halfway between Paris and the Val d'Oise countryside, makes it a popular town for Parisian families. Every December, its Parc de la Mairie, a green oasis in the heart of the town center, transforms into a charming Christmas village, offering residents a weekend of celebration and conviviality.

A Christmas Village in the Park

Ermont's market's uniqueness comes from its exceptional natural setting: the Parc de la Mairie, with its century-old trees and shaded paths, offers a romantic and intimate backdrop in winter. Wooden chalets are arranged among the trees and flowerbeds, creating warm alcoves where artisans and merchants welcome visitors. Jewelry designers, ceramists, leather artisans, soap and natural cosmetic makers, and producers of local jams and honeys gather each year to offer their creations, carefully selected by the municipality.

Seasonal Flavors and Delicacies

The gourmet offerings at the Ermont market meet the expectations of even the most discerning families. Regional producers offer aged cheeses, artisanal charcuterie, fine chocolates, Christmas spiced jams, soft gingerbread, shortbread cookies, and other Advent treats. Food stalls offer generous tartines, hot skewers, and the essential winter drinks—mulled wine, thick hot chocolate, and warm regional apple cider. These seasonal flavors create the distinctive culinary atmosphere of successful Christmas markets.

Family and Musical Entertainment

The entertainment program at the Ermont market is designed for the whole family to fully enjoy the weekend. Creative workshops allow children to make Christmas ornaments, greeting cards, and garlands to take home. Music groups—acoustic strings, Christmas choirs, brass ensembles—perform regularly in the market square, contributing to a warm sound ambiance. Santa Claus makes appearances throughout the weekend to greet children, listen to their wishes, and hand out his usual treats.

The Montmorency Valley in December

The Ermont market is part of the rich Christmas program offered by the many towns in the Vallée de Montmorency. Franconville, Taverny, Montmorency, Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, Domont, and Saint-Gratien each organize their own events, inviting residents to a festive circuit through the valley's beautiful winter landscapes. The proximity of the Forêt de Montmorency, bordering the towns to the north, offers refreshing forest walks to punctuate this holiday season.
