Vanves Christmas Market

The Village des Terroirs de Vanves: a gourmet and artisanal tradition

For over twenty years, the Place de la République in Vanves has transformed every December into an exceptional Christmas market. The Village des Terroirs is much more than a simple Advent market: it is a unique meeting between farmer producers from all over France and renowned artisans, in a festive and warm atmosphere in the heart of the Hauts-de-Seine.

The market's DNA: excellence in terroir and craftsmanship

The unique aspect of the Village des Terroirs de Vanves lies in the quality of its selection. Each edition brings together about sixty farmer producers — an expanded and rigorous selection — offering exceptional products: estate champagnes, goose and duck foie gras, farmhouse cheeses, artisanal meats and charcuterie, chestnuts, regional fine groceries, estate wines...

About thirty artisans complete the offering: jewelry, ceramics, sculptures, lighting, decorative items, textiles, and original creations for beautiful Christmas gifts. The quality of the stands is regularly praised by visitors and specialized media.

Entertainment and festivities for the whole family

Beyond the market itself, the Village des Terroirs offers a rich and varied entertainment program:

• Concerts and musical performances in the square
• Street shows and artistic entertainment
• Carriage rides — a joy for children
• Interactive activities and creative workshops
• Meeting Santa Claus

Over three days, the market offers activities for adults seeking exceptional gastronomic products as well as for families with children, in a spirit of conviviality and sharing typical of the holiday season.

A privileged setting in the Hauts-de-Seine

The town of Vanves, nestled between Malakoff, Issy-les-Moulineaux, and the 15th arrondissement of Paris, enjoys a prime location. The Place de la République, spacious and well-served by public transport, is the ideal place to host an event of this magnitude. Its proximity to Paris makes it an accessible event for all of Île-de-France.

The 2025 edition — 21st anniversary

The Village des Terroirs celebrated its 21st edition from Friday, December 12 to Sunday, December 14, 2025, on the Place de la République in Vanves. The hours were: Friday 3 PM-9 PM, Saturday 10 AM-8 PM, Sunday 10 AM-6 PM. The sixty farmer producers and thirty artisans offered visitors an exceptional weekend in the purest tradition of the artisanal and gourmet Christmas market.

The 2026 edition

The Village des Terroirs de Vanves returns in December 2026 for its 22nd edition. Farmer producers, artisans, festive entertainment, and carriage rides will once again be present at Place de la République, to perpetuate the beautiful tradition of this exceptional Christmas market.
