Seine-et-Marne (77) is starting to put up the festive lights for the weekend of November 14 and 15, 2026. The dry cold is setting in, the sun is making a comeback, and that’s often when we feel like swapping the sofa for a proper outing—even if it means keeping our scarves pulled up to our noses.

Our selection, put together during our trips around the 77, has something for everyone, from new towns to villages in the Brie region.
