L'Étrange Noël des Sorciers
Visitors wander through an enchanted shopping alleyway filled with interactive shops where they can craft fairy candles, brew herbal potions, make bath salts, and write quill-penned letters to Santa Claus. Throughout the street, guests encounter roaming stilt walkers, a Christmas choir, magicians, duel trainers, and French voice actors from the Harry Potter saga. The event also hosts a bustling artisan market featuring around fifty creators offering handmade wands, grimoires, and magical treats.
