A Christmas in the Colors of Longwy
The city of Longwy, famous for its UNESCO World Heritage fortifications and its art enamels, offers a rich and friendly Christmas program every year. The Longwy Christmas Market is divided into several events that punctuate December and give the border city its festive atmosphere.
Santa Claus Village
The Santa Claus Village is the ultimate family gathering. Located at the COSEC Mousset sports hall, it welcomes children who come to give their wish lists to Santa Claus and share their wishes. Numerous activities are offered: creative workshops, face painting, games, and shows. Craft stalls offer artisanal products, treats, and hot drinks. The event is usually held on the third weekend of December.
The Enamels, Faience, and Antiques Market
An emblematic event in Longwy, the Longwy Enamels, Faience, and Antiques Christmas Market highlights the city's artisanal heritage. Visitors can purchase old and contemporary Longwy enamels, faiences from various Lorraine manufacturers, and quality glassware and antique pieces. This event, held at the end of November, is a popular gathering for collectors and lovers of decorative art.
Longwy, a City of Heritage and Know-How
The Longwy Christmas markets are part of the identity of a city rich in its Vauban heritage (UNESCO-listed fortifications), its tradition of art enamels — recognized worldwide for their vibrant colors and unique technique — and its cross-border location at the gates of Luxembourg and Belgium. The Christmas festivities are an opportunity to celebrate this unique heritage while creating moments of conviviality and sharing.
