About
In Valenciennes the Christmas village fills Place d'Armes in front of the town hall and spills into neighbouring squares: a Ferris wheel on Place du Commerce, a carousel on Place du Marché-aux-Herbes and stallholders who change weekly on Place des Wantiers. Square de l'Ordron becomes a 'Village Lumière'. Father Christmas meets children from 9 December. On Saturday 19 December it stays open until midnight. A mid-sized market, pleasant for an evening out from Mons or Tournai.
