Christmas 2025 in Paris: a free light drone show in the Val d'Oise

Christmas is truly a time when magic is in the air. Throughout the Paris region, a festive atmosphere fills the streets as we enjoy all the wonderful events that await us throughout the season. Among the traditional festivities, Christmas markets, ice rinks, animated window displays, and illuminations delight young and old alike, sometimes with the presence of Santa Claus himself . Santa poses with his little fans before rushing off to deliver gifts from his sack.

PLEASE NOTE: the drone show has been moved forward to 7:30 p.m.
