Christmas Markets are also taking over the treasures of our heritage in 2025. In Paris and the surrounding region, listed monuments and historic sites will play host to these festive traditions.

Paris and the surrounding region are decked out in lights for the festive season. A host of traditional festivities and events take over the capital, including illuminations, animated shop windows, decorated Christmas trees and even encounters with Santa Claus. The festive spirit of this enchanting season takes hold of the Paris region, awakening our childlike souls. The magic of the holidays is also the pleasure of reunion, the pleasure of giving, the joy of receiving, and the happiness of shared moments.

The Christmas Markets also take us to the heart of the enchantment, whether to inspire us in our choice of gifts to slip under the tree, or to let us enjoy a festive stroll. With its snow-covered chalets, entertainment for young and old and gourmet stalls, it's a must-see for the festive season.

So much so, that they're also taking over the treasures of our heritage. And yes, the monuments and historic sites of Paris and the Île-de-France region are also playing host to Christmas markets. We take you on a tour of our heritage and the magic of Christmas! Stay tuned as we update our selection with new announcements and discoveries!
