Christmas Market 2024 in Maisons-Laffitte (78): magical crafts and entertainment for young and old alike

Looking for a local, fairytale Christmas? This weekend, from December 14 to 15, 2024, the Contre-allée Newmarket becomes the beating heart of the Maisons-Laffitte Artisan Christmas Market! 23 creative artisans await you with stalls brimming with ceramics, jewelry, handbags, decorative objects, gourmet treats... In short, everything you need to find unique and charming gifts to slip under the tree (or keep for yourself, we're not judging!).

For younger visitors, the magic of Christmas is around every corner! From Santa 's elves and ponies handing out sweets, to horse-drawn carriage rides, ponies, face-painting, balloon sculptors and musicians, it's all part of a memorable family experience.

On Saturday, let yourself be seduced by the "Chœur du Sud" choir on the Place du Maréchal Juin, after enjoying a lovely carriage ride with Santa Claus. And to prolong the magic, on December 24, the ponies will be back to enchant young and old alike.
