Verdun Christmas Village

The magic of Christmas in Meuse

Each year, the Verdun Christmas Village transforms the heart of the city of peace into an enchanting place. Organized by Verdun Expo Meuse, this event has become, over the editions, the unmissable meeting point for the end-of-year holidays in the Meuse department, attracting visitors from all over the Grand Est region and beyond.

A magical village in the city center

From the beginning of December to December 24th, the Christmas Village sets up in the Verdun city center with its wooden chalets and decorated marquees.

The careful decor, the fairy lights, and the decorated fir trees contribute to the magic of the event.

Craftsmanship and local products

The chalets host numerous local artisans and creators who offer original and traditional gift ideas: handmade jewelry, Christmas decorations, candles, scented soaps, textiles, fashion accessories, and many other creations. Local producers are also present with their gastronomic specialties: foie gras, confectionery, honey, jams, and other delicacies from the Meuse and Lorraine region.
