The Pont-à-Mousson Christmas Village
Every year in December, Pont-à-Mousson's Place Duroc transforms into a charming Christmas Village. Lined with Renaissance arcades and overlooked by the towers of Saint-Martin church, this historic square offers a remarkable architectural setting for the market chalets and festive activities.
Artisans, Producers, and Food
The Christmas Village brings together local artisans and Lorraine regional producers in chalets decorated in Christmas colors. You'll find handcrafted items—decorations, jewelry, candles, pottery—as well as gourmet specialties: mulled wine, gingerbread, chocolates, jams, honey, and cheeses. Small outdoor restaurants offer tartiflettes, crêpes, and other treats to warm you up in the heart of winter.
Magical Activities for Children
The Pont-à-Mousson Christmas Market places a special emphasis on activities for children. A carousel and an ice rink are set up on Place Duroc. Pony rides are offered on weekends. Recreational Wednesdays feature workshops and games for the younger ones. Animated storytelling sessions immerse children in the magic of Christmas. A drawing contest allows budding artists to unleash their creativity.
A Human-Sized City
Pont-à-Mousson, a historic city nestled in a loop of the Moselle River, offers a particularly attractive setting for a Christmas market. The Prémontrés Abbey, a 18th-century masterpiece, the arcaded houses on Place Duroc, and the Moselle riverbanks create an intimate and authentic atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The Christmas market is part of the identity of this city where conviviality and togetherness are fundamental values.
