Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets online before you go, because they cost less than at the gate, and remember that under-5s get in free but still need a ticket.
  • Use the free little-train shuttle from stops around Le Barcarès. It runs every 30 minutes, with more trains on weekends and every day during school holidays.
  • Students and skating club members should bring their card, since showing it gets them a reduced rate.
  • Leave the dog at home when you visit, because dogs are not allowed in the Christmas village.
  • Drivers coming off the A9 should follow the signposted routes to the Christmas village car parks once in Le Barcarès, and all of them are free.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New for 2026-27: new decorations, attractions and parades, plus completely new staging at the Musée des Glaces.

  • Special New Year's Eve evening on December 31, with its own ticket price.
