Tips & Advice

  • Come on a Friday or Saturday if you want a longer evening visit, because the market stays open later on those nights.
  • Don't plan a Monday morning visit, because the market only opens in the afternoon on Mondays.
  • Leave the car at the Les Pistes or Henri Dunant park-and-ride and ride tram line A straight to the Place de Jaude stop.
  • If you cycle, use the racks around Place de Jaude and lock both the frame and the front wheel.
  • Look through the exhibitor list and market map before you go to spot gift ideas among the 73 chalets.
