    An authentic and festive Christmas market

    On Sunday 14 December 2025, La Colle-sur-Loup invites you to spend an enchanted day in the heart of a real Christmas village.

    Stroll around the stalls selling local crafts and creations, the ideal place to find unique gifts and support local talent. From festive decorations to handmade objects and original gift ideas, each stall is packed with discoveries.

    Let yourself be tempted by the gourmet delights: chocolates, biscuits, home-made sweets, crêpes, hot drinks… The scents of winter will accompany you throughout your visit.

    The village streets will be alive with music and entertainment. Families will also be able to take advantage of creative workshops designed for the youngest visitors, to take home a home-made souvenir.

    And of course, it’s impossible to imagine a Christmas market without the arrival of Father Christmas, accompanied this year by Loupy, the children’s beloved mascot. Smiles, photos and wonder guaranteed!

    A warm, festive and family-friendly day not to be missed, to fully immerse yourself in the magic of Christmas in La Colle-sur-Loup.
