A Christmas market at the heart of heritage
In less than twenty years, the Sarlat Christmas Market has become one of the unmissable events of the holiday season in the Dordogne. Located on the Place de la Grande-Rigaudie and Place du 14-Juillet, it offers around 70 chalets featuring crafts and gastronomy in the exceptional setting of the medieval city.
A different theme each year
Each edition highlights a country or culture: Norway in 2023, Italy in 2024, French overseas territories in 2025. This theme is reflected in the entertainment, shows, tastings, and special stands that complement the offerings of local artisans.
Entertainment and magic
Throughout December, illuminations, decorations, shows, markets, and an ice rink animate the city. The 15 chalets in the food court offer gastronomic specialties until 11 PM on weekends and every evening during school holidays.
