Santa Claus and concerts: discover the program for the 2026 Christmas market in L’Haÿ-les-Roses

The magic of Christmas is taking over L'Haÿ-les-Roses! This Val-de-Marne town, known for its rose garden, invites us to visit its Christmas market, running from December 4 to 6, 2026. Traditional wooden chalets and Christmas decorations will light up the Esplanade de la Bièvre. Activities are planned throughout the weekend to immerse young and old alike in the joyful spirit of the holiday season.

Residents of the region can meet up in the aisles of this festive market. There are traditional Christmas goods, handcrafted and local products, vendors selling mulled wine and sweets... But that’s not all! To entertain children (and parents too), this Christmas market has a carousel.

On this first weekend of December, it’s time to think about the important things. Which gifts will be waiting under the tree on December 25? Adults can find lovely gift ideas to tuck under the tree at the market’s various stalls. Children have a very different mission: Santa Claus is planning to visit the market... Children will be able to meet him and chat with him to prove they deserve their toys!
