The Swedish Christmas market on rue Médéric moves a week earlier

The Swedish Christmas market in Paris, the julbasar (Christmas bazaar) of the Swedish Church, runs from Friday 20 to Sunday 22 November 2026 at 9 rue Médéric, in the 17th arrondissement. Watch the dates: the church says it falls on the weekend before the first Sunday of Advent this year, one week earlier than usual. If you were counting on the last weekend of November, you will miss it.

Based on past editions, you will find Swedish Christmas food: herring, salmon, sausages, cheese, gingerbread biscuits, lingonberry jam, cinnamon buns, Swedish sweets and chocolate. For presents, there are crafts, candles and candlesticks, decorations and Christmas cards.

Last year a café served sandwiches, homemade bread, hot dogs, waffles and mulled wine. This is a parish market, not a street of wooden chalets: everything happens inside the brick church, built between 1911 and 1913, where the Swedes of Paris meet.

Entry is free, no booking. The church has not published its 2026 opening hours yet: last year it was 11am–7pm on Friday and Saturday, 12:30–5pm on Sunday. Metro Courcelles (line 2), five minutes on foot.
