Edition 2025 — Noël en Velay
Noël en Velay 2024-2025
The 2024-2025 edition of Noël en Velay took place from November 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025, on the Place du Breuil. The Christmas village brought together about forty themed chalets, combining creators and restaurateurs, around the traditional outdoor ice rink.
The launch took place at 2 PM on Place du Plot with a festive parade: a batucada led the procession composed of giant mascots through the streets of the city center to the Place du Breuil, punctuated by giant soap bubble shows for children.
Santa Claus made numerous appearances with candy distribution: on Saturdays, December 6, 13, and 20 from 2 PM to 6 PM; on Sundays, December 14 and 21, and Wednesday, December 17 from 10 AM to 12 PM and 2 PM to 7:30 PM; and from December 22 to 24 from 2 PM to 5 PM.
The creator chalets were open from 12 PM to 7 PM and the restaurateur chalets from 12 PM to 9 PM, with late openings until 10 PM on certain Fridays and Saturdays. Dozens of free activities were offered throughout the festive period by the City, the Ateliers des Arts, the Library, and the Musée Crozatier.
