Christmas 2023 festivities in Rambouillet: Christmas market, video mapping and Santa Claus village

During the month of December 2023, the town of Rambouillet will be decked out in Christmas colors, with the return of its traditional market, accompanied by a host of events for the whole family.

This year's Christmas festivities in Rambouillet are shaping up to be grandiose, with a great program for the whole family. Video mapping, visits to Santa's village, free workshops for children, ice rink, Christmas market... There's something for everyone, young and old.

The program also includes a stroll through the Christmas market at the Bergerie Nationale, which offers a festive day on Sunday, December 10, 2023, with a Christmas crib of farm animals, storytelling carriage rides, cow milking, photos with Santa Claus and a host of exhibitors showcasing their gourmet and farm produce. To round off this festive day, fireworks will also be set off at 6 p.m.!

Children are also invited to La Grande Fabrique, Rambouillet's brand-new Christmas village, to be held from December 15 to 17, 2023, in the Jardin du Roi de Rome. It's here that you'll be able to plunge into the heart of the Christmas toy factory, meet the characters who help Santa Claus and marvel at the pictorial Christmas tale, projected in video mapping every late afternoon, as night falls. During this period, the Palais du Roi de Rome also offers creative workshops for making and decorating your own Christmas tree, while the Rambolitrain offers you the chance to board its special Christmas garden train during the school vacations.

Of course, the big ice rink is back this year on the Place Félix Faure, and is open every day (even on December 25 and 31) from December 9 to January 7, 2024! To get into the Christmas spirit and experience magical family moments, head to Rambouillet to discover its beautiful Christmas festivities!
