4Hôtel de Ville Christmas Market

Each year, the square in front of Paris’s iconic City Hall transforms into a festive village with winter decorations, Christmas trees, seasonal animations, and adorable wooden chalets. The ambiance is enchanting—you’ll feel like you’re stepping into a postcard.

While this market is family-friendly, its highlight is its beautifully crafted décor and installations. It often features a small ice rink, children’s activities, and delightful stalls filled with regional specialties. It’s especially magical at night when the building’s grand façade glows against the holiday lights.

Best for: picture-perfect holiday scenes and family-friendly fun.
