Here are the dates of Christmas markets in France for 2022. Each year, Christmas markets open in towns and villages across France. With their unique architectural settings, French towns and villages deliver an enchanting setting enhanced with lights and decorations. Come and enjoy the aromas of mulled wine, hearty food, roasted chestnuts, and local delicacies that fill the crisp air of winter for the joy of visitors, young and old. I couldn’t list all the markets organised in France (there are hundreds of them, small and large). Therefore I have made a selection of my favourite Christmas markets… unsurprisingly a large part of them are found in Alsace!
