A Christmas Market on Place de la Concorde for Christmas 2024 with toboggan run and entertainment

Among the festivities awaiting us at the end of the year, the Place de la Concorde may well delight strollers. Indeed, this year, the Mairie de Paris (Paris City Hall) is setting up family events and Christmas chalets from December 14, 2024 to January 5, 2025.

For once, the famous Paris Christmas Market, which usually takes place on the square in front of the Hôtel de Ville, will not be taking place, as the square is currently being transformed into a green lung. The city has therefore decided to move to the Concorde area, the stronghold of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It has to be said that this is a strategic and central location, just a stone's throw from the Tuileries Christmas market, the Illuminations des Champs-Élysées and the Grand Palais des glaces, so there's plenty to discover in the area.

Decorative elements, including wooden figurines and an urban forest designed by the city's services, will add a magical touch. Illuminations will enhance the festive atmosphere. Located between the beautiful Champs-Elysées avenue, which sparkles with holiday lights, and the famous Tuileries Christmas Market, which enchants the park every year, this Christmas village is sure to add magic to the festive season.

A dozen sales chalets will be decorated in the spirit of Christmas, some featuring products bearing the "Made in Paris" label. Three of these chalets will be dedicated to small-scale catering, giving us the opportunity to savour dishes in the open air, while one chalet will offer food products to be tasted on the spot. There will also be a toboggan run set amidst a promenade of fir and birch trees.

Christmas Market program:

• 1 toboggan run open afternoons and evenings until 9pm
• 5 Christmas window displays, including one designed by Lego
• 3 x 6-metre chalets for small-scale catering
• 1 x 4-meter chalet dedicated to food tasting and sales
