Christmas in Cagnes-sur-Mer | Côte d’Azur France / French Riviera

Christmas in the town centre

Cagnes-sur-Mer is creating a magical atmosphere in the town centre with a programme that really invites you to enjoy the festive season to the full. The enchanted merry-go-round, the “Build your own tree house” workshops, pony rides on certain days, trampolines, duck fishing and the Christmas market from 13 to 24 December set the pace for the whole family. The mascot parades on 20 and 24 December, the artistic parades from 22 to 24, 27 and 31 December, and the gospel concert on 21 December all add to the festive atmosphere.

Then there are the traditional Bain de Noël at the Port du Cros-de-Cagnes on Sunday 7 December 2025 at 11am – with a warm-up session and charity events in aid of the Telethon – and the Christmas Tree Market from 28 November to 21 December, set up on the Esplanade de l’Hôtel Indigo, where natural Christmas trees are on sale from 9am to 8pm. It’s a warm, lively atmosphere, the perfect way to enjoy a lively December.

Young and old alike will be able to take a seat beside him to immortalise their fondest memories.

The whole programme

Christmas at Cros-de-Cagnes

Le Cros-de-Cagnes is also getting into the spirit of Christmas, with a merry atmosphere that’s an instant hit. From 14 to 31 December, from 10am to 1pm and from 2pm to 6pm (closed on the 25th), the Little Christmas Train takes visitors on a free journey to the world of Father Christmas. Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult, and then it’s off on a gentle journey that the whole family can enjoy.

The streets also come alive with parades of mascots – Mickey Claus, Minnie Claus, a Reindeer, Gingerbread and Olaf – on the mornings of 20 and 24 December. The fairytale atmosphere is rounded off by artistic performances on 22, 23, 24, 27 and 31 December between 10.30am and 12.30pm.
And to prolong the magic, head to the Port du Cros on 7 December 2025: the traditional Christmas Bath awaits the bravest, accompanied by a muscle warm-up and a sale of fried fish and duck fishing from 11am to 2pm in aid of the Telethon. It’s a great way to experience the spirit of Christmas, with a friendly atmosphere, solidarity and shared moments.
