Marché de noël

The Christmas Market is back in the heart of Pontarlier, in a central location combining the Place d'Arçon, Rue Sainte-Anne and Place Cretin. This unique space will offer visitors a chance to wander among the gourmet chalets, craft creations and renewed illuminations.

The podium in Place Cretin will be the setting for musical entertainment and children's shows: choirs (inauguration), concerts, magic, puppets and surprises will punctuate every weekend and Wednesday in a warm, family atmosphere.

From the Rue Sainte-Anne to the Place Cretin, discover the 18 chalets in the Christmas village, offering gift ideas and gourmet products, as well as the shops run by local traders.

On the Place d'Arçon: 11 chalets selling snacks and food await you around the merry-go-round and the ice rink run by the Office Municipal des Sports.

Father Christmas is waiting for you! A key figure in the festive season, Father Christmas will be on hand throughout the event, with a photo studio in the town hall several times a week and the arrival of his float on the enchanting theme of the ice floe. Young and old alike will be able to immortalise these magical moments in his company.

There's something for everyone throughout the Market: a skating rink, curling rink, gourmet chalets and a host of free activities (pastry-making workshops, winter gifts, balloon sculptures, face painting, etc.) will round off this festive experience in the town centre. Admission is free, and it's a Christmas of sharing and conviviality.
