Vincennes Christmas Village 2026, wooden chalets in the town centre

The Vincennes Christmas Village (Village de Noël de Vincennes) runs from Friday 4 to Thursday 24 December 2026 in the centre of Vincennes, a town just east of Paris, on place Pierre-Sémard, rue du Midi, rue Raymond-du-Temple and the Cours Marigny. Entry is free, according to the City of Paris listing.

Expect a row of wooden chalets: gifts by local makers (jewellery, wooden toys, clothes, decorations) and seasonal food, from local honey and gingerbread to hot cider and regional specialities. The market is run by the town hall of Vincennes and the local shopkeepers' associations.

The listing also mentions the usual festive extras: a Christmas ice rink, horse-drawn carriage rides and visits from Father Christmas. Their exact dates were not published as of 12 November.

Before the village opens, a night market sets up on place Diderot from 27 November, 6pm–10pm, with food on site, to switch on the town's Christmas lights.

The village is open every day, 10am–7:30pm. Take RER A to Vincennes station, which opens onto place Pierre-Sémard, or Metro line 1 to Bérault or Château de Vincennes.
