Organized by the association Le Moulin de Raoul, this market offers an intimate and warm experience, far from the hustle and bustle of large Christmas markets.

A Warm and Authentic Atmosphere
What makes the Marché de Noël du Moulin's charm incomparable is its intimate and friendly atmosphere. The watermill, with its exposed stone and period mechanisms, offers a unique setting. A fireplace crackles in the main room, while visitors enjoy mulled wine, crepes, hot chocolate, and artisanal herbal teas. The atmosphere is that of a true Christmas of yesteryear.
