1Eguisheim Christmas Market – A Circular Village Filled With Light
Eguisheim is one of the most unique villages in France thanks to its circular shape, winding lanes, and bright façades. During December, this charming village becomes a dreamy labyrinth of festive stalls, twinkling lights, and cozy corners glowing with lanterns.
The Christmas market is intimate and beautifully curated, offering regional specialties like kougelhopf, Alsatian wines, charcuterie, handmade soaps, pottery, and delicate winter décor.
Because Eguisheim is smaller than the more famous markets, it offers a peaceful, slower pace — perfect for soaking up the details: candlelit windows, wood-carved nativity scenes, and balconies overflowing with garlands. Every turn reveals a photo-worthy moment, making the entire village feel like a Christmas illustration.
Why it feels magical:
-
A circular medieval layout ideal for wandering
-
Soft, warm lights that create a cozy, intimate mood
-
A gentle, picturesque market perfect for slow travel
