Tips & Advice

  • Don't head for the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville car park, because the market and ice rink occupy it for the whole event.
  • Take the AOMC train if you can, because its station is only a five-minute walk from the market.
  • Reserve a table at one of the two themed dining chalets if you want to sit down for a full meal.
  • Bring the kids for the free children's workshops, and keep an eye out for the roving street shows while you browse the chalets.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New layout this year: the market moves onto the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville car park, Place Centrale and Place de Tübingen, with an ice rink on the car park.
