Every winter, Paris transforms into a magical Christmas destination. Its iconic squares, gardens and charming neighbourhoods come alive with festive markets, twinkling lights, delicious treats and handcrafted gifts.
Here are three Christmas markets you shouldn't miss during your visit.
Dates of opening: November 14, 2026 – January 3, 2027
Located in the famous Jardin des Tuileries, just a short walk from the Louvre and Place de la Concorde, this Christmas market is a must-see during the festive season.
With its beautifully decorated wooden chalets, delicious winter treats and fun attractions, it's a magical experience for both couples and families. Wander between the stalls, enjoy a festive snack and soak up the cheerful atmosphere before exploring the illuminated streets of Paris.
Our tip: Visit in the late afternoon to experience the market as thousands of Christmas lights begin to sparkle.
Dates of opening: November 12 – December 31, 2026
Looking for unique Christmas gifts for your loved ones? Head to La Défense, home to one of the largest Christmas markets in the Paris region!
With over 300 wooden chalets, you'll find plenty of gift ideas, from handmade creations and festive decorations to accessories, gourmet treats and regional specialities.
It's the perfect place to get your Christmas shopping done while enjoying the festive atmosphere. In 2026, a large ice rink and additional entertainment make the experience even more magical.
Our tip: Allow a few hours to explore the stalls, discover original gifts and indulge in some delicious Christmas treats.
Dates of opening: November 26 – December 27, 2026
Prefer a smaller, more intimate Christmas market? Head to Square René-Viviani, just a stone's throw from the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral.
This charming market celebrates French craftsmanship, with beautiful handmade gifts, original creations and traditional festive treats. Surrounded by historic buildings and twinkling lights, it's the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the magic of Christmas.
Our tip: Combine your visit with a stroll along the Seine and through the picturesque streets of the Latin Quarter.
After a busy day exploring festive stalls, admiring Christmas decorations and searching for the perfect gifts, what could be better than escaping to the peaceful countryside? Instead of booking a hotel in the heart of Paris, why not turn your Christmas shopping trip into a relaxing winter getaway?
Located in Ervy-le-Châtel, in the beautiful Champagne countryside, Nutchel Champagne is just around 2 hours' drive from Paris. Whether you're travelling from Germany, from Belgium or from another region of France, our Forest Village is the perfect place to take a relaxing break on your way to Paris, on your way back home, or during your Christmas shopping trip.
Settle into a cosy forest cabin, slow down and reconnect with nature. Imagine lighting the wood-burning stove, preparing a delicious dinner and enjoying a peaceful evening by the soft glow of oil lamps.
No television, no endless notifications, no distractions. Just you, your loved ones and the peaceful forest.
Every season has its charm at Nutchel Champagne, but there's something particularly magical about winter. Snuggle up under a warm blanket, listen to the crackling fire and enjoy the simple pleasure of being together. Share a delicious raclette dinner, play board games or simply spend hours in one of the hot tubs of the spa. Whether you're travelling as a couple, with family or with friends, our Cosy Cabins offer the perfect setting to create unforgettable winter memories.
Need to unwind after a busy day of Christmas shopping in Paris? Discover our Water Path, a peaceful spa designed to help you relax and reconnect with the elements. Enjoy the warmth of the hot tubs, unwind in the sauna, refresh yourself in the cold bath or simply relax in our dedicated relaxation spaces. A truly magical experience on a chilly winter day!
At Nutchel Champagne, the best moments don't require a packed schedule.
Sometimes, doing less means enjoying more.
Some of the largest Christmas markets in Paris open in mid-November. La Défense Christmas Market starts on November 12, followed by the Tuileries Christmas Market on November 14 and Notre-Dame Christmas Market on November 26. Some markets remain open until early January 2027.
The Tuileries Christmas Market is ideal for festive entertainment and family fun. La Défense is perfect for Christmas shopping and unique gift ideas, while Notre-Dame offers a more intimate atmosphere focused on French craftsmanship.
Absolutely! Located in Ervy-le-Châtel, approximately 2 hours' drive from Paris, Nutchel Champagne is the perfect destination to combine the festive excitement of the capital with a relaxing stay in a cosy forest cabin, whether on your way to Paris, on your way back home, or as a peaceful escape during your visit to the capital.
We recommend staying 2 or 3 nights to enjoy both the Christmas markets in Paris and some quality time surrounded by nature. At Nutchel Champagne, all stays have a minimum duration of two nights.
Why choose between the festive excitement of Paris and the peaceful beauty of nature when you can enjoy both? This winter, discover the best Christmas markets in Paris, find the perfect gifts for your loved ones and extend the magic with a cosy forest getaway at Nutchel Champagne.
