Get festive with Lille's month-long Christmas Market. In the heart of winter, the entire city of Lille sparkles and glows with "joie de vivre"! With the wave of a magic wand, the city takes on a festive atmosphere and welcomes you to its winter wonderland. Be dazzled by hundreds of twinkling lights.
Christmas carols fill the air as the 50-metre high Big Wheel turns majestically, providing a fantastic view over the whole city. At its base, an artificial snow-covered village fills the entire Grand Place square, dominated by an 18-metre high Christmas tree!
Head towards Place Rihour where the trees are lined with twinkling fairy lights, the irresistible aroma of cinnamon and roasted chestnuts fill the air and an array of over 83 Christmas wodden chalets awaits you. What better place to shop for that perfect gift idea, nativity figurines, Christmas decorations and festive food. Not forgetting the waffles, gingerbread and other delicacies to take away or enjoy on the spot with a glass of mulled wine. Lille is the ideal destination for your Christmas shopping with over 3900 shops to suit every taste and budget.
