List of Christmas markets to visit in Paris! 2025

Tuileries Garden Christmas Market

The number one must-visit Christmas market in Paris is the Tuileries Garden Christmas Market. This market is extra lively because it comes with a traveling carnival attached!

The Christmas market area is packed with food stalls and stands selling winter goods and accessories. The colorful, cute decorations at each stall really get you in the festive spirit. Santa Claus, reindeer, and snowman displays are popular photo spots.

There are tons of mulled wine stands alone, so we recommend doing a taste test—they all taste pretty different! With so many food options, making dinner out of your Tuileries Christmas Market visit is definitely one way to enjoy it.

Even though the carnival is temporary, it’s legit—with plenty of attractions for both adults and kids. For children, there are mini roller coasters, go-karts, and climbing houses. For adults, there are some pretty intense rides like free falls and pirate ships, so thrill-seekers should definitely give them a try!

Notre-Dame Cathedral Christmas Market

The Notre-Dame Cathedral Christmas Market is located in a spot where you can enjoy views of Notre-Dame Cathedral.

It’s a cozy little market featuring regional specialties from around France. There’s plenty of delicious stuff like warm mulled wine, charcuterie (ham, sausages, etc.), and viennoiserie.

The warm decorations and friendly staff add to the charm. Santa Claus even shows up, so if your timing’s right, you might get to snap a photo with him!

Eiffel Tower Christmas Market

The Christmas market near the Eiffel Tower is a big hit every year. People love it because you can enjoy it while gazing up at the Eiffel Tower, and there are tons of food stalls. The festive stand decorations really amp up the holiday vibe.

It gets pretty crowded on weekends and evenings, so we recommend going on weekdays or during the day. There’s a dining area, so if you go when it’s less busy, you can sit down and eat!

Saint-Germain-des-Prés Christmas Market

The Saint-Germain-des-Prés Christmas Market is one of Paris’s longest-running Christmas markets. Stalls line Boulevard Saint-Germain, filling this busy street with Christmas cheer.

You’ll find lots of stands selling winter accessories like scarves and holiday décor to brighten up your home for the season.

There aren’t many food stalls, but you can usually find ones selling mulled wine and pretzels. Since Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a popular shopping area, definitely stop by while you’re out shopping!

Gare de l’Est Alsatian Christmas Market

Every year at Gare de l’Est, they hold an Alsatian-style Christmas market featuring Alsatian specialties. This is the only place in Paris where you can find so many Alsatian goodies all in one spot.

The Alsace region is the home of French Christmas! You’ll find all the delicious Alsatian treats—kougelhopf, pain d’épices, manala, and more. There’s also charcuterie, Alsatian wine, foie gras, pâté, and tons of other Christmas must-haves.

The Gare de l’Est Alsatian Christmas Market has a short run, so if you want to get your hands on these delicious Alsatian treats, go early! It’s right in front of the main entrance to Gare de l’Est.

Montmartre Christmas Market

There’s also a Christmas market in the Montmartre area, a favorite for strolling around. It’s in the square right outside Abbesses station.

It’s a small market, but the charming Montmartre atmosphere matches perfectly with the chalet-style stalls—it’s a lovely Christmas market.

Be sure to check it out when you’re exploring Montmartre!
