How about a Christmas market with the Eiffel Tower as its backdrop? The Christmas village on Quai Jacques-Chirac is expected to return from December 5, 2026, to January 3, 2027. It’s a chance to enjoy a festive atmosphere and delicious treats in the heart of Paris.

Calling all lovers of the City of Light: the Eiffel Tower Christmas Village is getting ready to return for the holiday season! From December 5, 2026, to January 3, 2027, according to the first dates announced by the organizer, head to the foot of the Iron Lady to enjoy this artisanal, food-focused Christmas market. Last year, around sixty designer chalets and food trucks set up on the site.

Traditionally set up on quai Jacques-Chirac, in Paris’s 7th arrondissement, the village showcases artisans and products from across France. Costume jewelry, ceramics, toys, soaps, jams and chocolates were among the creations and specialties on offer in previous editions. Plenty of gift ideas to get ready for Christmas while enjoying a stroll at the foot of the Eiffel Tower!

As for refreshments, regulars will remember the comforting specialties at the Alsatian stall, Savoyard treats and the traditional mulled wine (to be enjoyed in moderation, of course!). The details of the stalls and exhibitors expected for the 2026 edition have yet to be confirmed.
