Valenciennes Christmas Village
Christmas chalets on Place d'Armes opposite the town hall, with a Ferris wheel on Place du Commerce and a carousel on Place du Marché-aux-Herbes.
Mons Cœur en Neige spreads over three spots in the old town. On the Grand-Place, below the town hall, chalets sell gifts, crafts and treats, alongside a lit-up Christmas tower, rides and the Magic Kiosk where children meet Santa. Marché aux Herbes hosts a food and drink village under a canopy of lights, and Place Léopold, near the station, has a 600 m² covered ice rink. A free little train links the sites on some weekends. Highlights: the opening parade on 5 December and the Walk of Lights on 12 December.
Core hours; stallholders may stay open later (until 11 pm Sun–Wed, 1 am Thu–Sat).
