Among the towers of the business district, the La Défense forecourt turns into a sprawling village of chalets every winter. The organiser counts more than 300 stalls, from crafts to food specialities. New for 2026 is Le Sommet, a festive square with an ice rink, food and music that stays open a few days longer than the market. Entry is free and the site is easy to reach by metro, RER and tram. Late opening on Fridays and Saturdays makes it a good evening outing.
Le Sommet (festive square and ice rink) stays open until 3 January 2027 (1 January 15:00–23:00; Thursdays until 22:00). The special hours for 24, 25 and 31 December are listed under Le Sommet and most likely apply to the market too.
