About Noel Villedieu
The Christmas Market in the heart of the copper city
Every December, the charming town of Villedieu-les-Poêles, famous for its copper working tradition, hosts its Christmas market in a warm and friendly atmosphere. This festive event transforms the town hall and Place des Costils into a true Christmas village where the scents of spices, mulled wine, and Norman crepes mingle.
About fifty selected exhibitors
Each year, the market brings together about fifty carefully selected artisans and creators. Handmade jewelry, pottery, turned wood objects, artisanal soaps, scented candles, Christmas decorations, textiles, local Norman delicacies, and many other treasures await visitors. The quality of the exhibitors and the originality of their creations have earned this market its reputation, attracting visitors from all over the region.
Activities and performances
Beyond the stalls, the Villedieu Christmas Market offers a program of various activities for all ages. Musicians, violinists, and saxophonists wander through the aisles on Saturdays, creating a magical atmosphere. Painting and face-painting workshops are offered to children, while the refreshment stand allows adults to warm up with mulled wine or Norman cider.
