Paris Christmas Markets 2025 - Noël La Villette

From 20th November to 28th December 2025

Swiss Christmas Village comes to Paris for the first time

From 20 November to 28 December 2025, La Villette will host a very special winter highlight: the Swiss Christmas Village. After seven successful editions in Switzerland, the concept is now celebrating its international premiere.

The area around the Fontaine-aux-Lions will be transformed into a festive setting with numerous chalets showcasing crafts, culinary specialties, and gift ideas. Visitors can taste traditional treats, discover high-quality products, and soak up the unique alpine atmosphere.  Attention exhibitors: registration is still open!

The event will also feature a varied cultural and entertainment programme. More details will soon be available on their  website or directly at Noël La Villette | Marché de Noël à La Villette I Place de la Fontaine aux Lions, 75019, Paris,. Families, couples, and groups of friends alike will find plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the festive season.

The project is organised by a team with extensive experience, already behind the renowned “Zurich Wienachtsdorf at Bellevue” and “Noël au Quai” in Geneva, both ranked among the most popular Christmas markets in Europe. Paris will now benefit from the same commitment to quality, thoughtful design, and a welcoming atmosphere, creating a place that brings people together in the heart of winter.

Blending Swiss tradition with Parisian flair, the Christmas Village promises to be a new attraction in the 19th arrondissement, inviting locals and international guests alike to experience a memorable winter wonderland.
