Christmas Market of Boulogne-Billancourt

The Christmas Market of Boulogne-Billancourt: An Enchanted Village in the Heart of the City

For several years, the Grand'Place of Boulogne-Billancourt (92100) has been adorned with Christmas colors to host one of the most popular Christmas markets in the Hauts-de-Seine. Every year, from late November until December 24, this market transforms the heart of the city into a true festive village, where residents of Boulogne-Billancourt and surrounding towns gather to stroll, do their year-end shopping, and enjoy the magic of Christmas.

The Christmas Market of Boulogne-Billancourt is organized with the support of the city and managed by event professionals, who ensure each year to offer a qualitative selection of merchants and provide new entertainment.

Forty Red and White Chalets

At the heart of the market are forty red and white chalets, carefully decorated, housing a selection of artisans, creators, and producers wishing to showcase their know-how. You'll find a wide variety of products: artisanal jewelry, Provençal santons (nativity figures), decorative items, wooden toys, fashion accessories and textiles, as well as gastronomic specialties — cheeses, charcuterie, jams, honey, chocolates, foie gras — that delight lovers of good food.

The chalets also offer original gift ideas for all budgets: leather goods, natural cosmetics, creative stationery, decorative objects, clothing, and toys. The market is an invitation to step away from mass-produced items and offer authentic, carefully crafted presents.

Christmas Entertainment and Delicacies

Beyond shopping, the Christmas Market of Boulogne-Billancourt is above all a place for life and sharing. Numerous activities punctuate the weeks of the market:

• Rides and games for children: a small train, carousel, fishing game, giant slide, and other attractions delight the youngest visitors.
• Santa Claus is present in his own chalet, accessible every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday from 2 PM to 6 PM. Children can give him their letters and take a souvenir photo.
• Stage entertainment: street shows, parades, and artistic performances are scheduled throughout the market, especially on weekends.
• Gourmet specialties: mulled wine with spices, roasted chestnuts, gingerbread, crepes, hot chocolate, and other seasonal treats are offered by the food stalls.

Spectacular One-Off Events

Each edition features special highlight events that draw crowds. In 2025, several events marked the edition:

• Floral dancers animated the Grand'Place on Saturday, November 29, creating a visual spectacle in the evening.
• A grand Christmas Parade crossed the market on Sunday, December 7, with decorated floats, costumed characters, and festive music.

These events are always free and accessible to all market visitors.
