Arras Christmas Market 2025
From November 28 to December 28, 2025, the Grand’Place in Arras will be adorned with a thousand lights to host one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Northern France. Gourmet chalets, a Ferris wheel, passionate artisans, and a magical atmosphere... everything comes together to create an unforgettable experience.
Book your room at a hotel in Arras and enjoy a magical getaway just minutes from the city center and immerse yourself in the warm spirit of the holiday season.
Every winter, the Grand’Place, ranked among the most beautiful in France, is transformed into a veritable Christmas village.
More than a hundred wooden chalets await you, overflowing with artisanal creations and local delicacies.
You'll find handmade jewelry, pottery, wooden toys, and superb decorations to brighten up your home. As for flavors, indulge in regional specialties: crispy waffles, fluffy crêpes, melted Maroilles cheese, macarons, or fragrant mulled wine.
It's the perfect place to find your Christmas gifts while enjoying the friendly atmosphere and good humor!
The Arras Christmas Market 2025 is a true celebration for the whole family.
Children can meet Santa Claus in his chalet or take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the illuminated streets.
Concerts, street performances, creative workshops, and storytelling enliven each day, creating an atmosphere full of laughter and wonder.
The Elf Village and Santa Claus House, located on the Place du Théâtre, also have some lovely surprises in store for the little ones. And when night falls, the fairy lights twinkle, the music blares, and the air fills with the scents of sugar and spices: a setting straight out of a childhood dream.
You can't leave without a ride on the Ferris wheel, installed in the center of the Grand'Place.
From its 35-meter height, it offers an exceptional panorama of the rooftops of Arras, the Baroque facades, and the giant 25-meter Christmas tree standing on the Place des Héros.
Sunset reveals a magical spectacle, between golden lights and the scent of mulled wine.
The illuminations extend to the adjacent alleys, transforming the city into a vast jewel of light.
It's one of the most beautiful moments to stroll hand in hand, with family or friends, in the heart of a magical atmosphere before returning to the Hotel Le Fairway*** on the Arras golf course.
