Bordeaux Christmas Market

A new location


For the very first time, the Bordeaux Christmas Market will take place on Place des Quinconces. Once again, Bordeaux mon Commerce is organizing this traditional market and, for its 30th edition, is bringing even more lights, shows, surprises, magic, solidarity, and commitment.

From November 29 to December 29, come and explore over a hundred exhibitors offering an exceptional variety of products: local crafts, Christmas decorations, jewelry, clothing, and gift ideas for all ages. It’s the perfect place to find unique treasures while supporting local creators.




Entertainment for the Whole Family


This year, both children and adults can enjoy a joyful atmosphere with a wide range of activities

  • The Ferris wheel and funfair rides: attractions that light up Bordeaux evenings
  • Santa’s House: a magical stop for children, where they can share their Christmas wishes
  • Workshops
    • Animated Reindeer Chalet
    • Gift-wrapping classes
    • Kids’ face painting with entertainment
    • Eco-friendly Christmas decoration making
    • Photos with Santa Claus

  • Shows and concerts: local artists bring the market to life with musical performances and street shows



Gastronomy and Traditions


The market also offers an unmissable gourmet experience. The scents of mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, and regional specialties such as canelés and oysters blend into a festive atmosphere. Food trucks and stalls serve a wide variety of flavors, from traditional dishes to culinary innovations


A Commitment to Sustainability


The Bordeaux Christmas Market embraces a responsible approach through concrete actions focused on sustainability and inclusion. These efforts include reducing environmental impact, ensuring accessibility for all, promoting transparency with exhibitors, and providing tools to encourage sustainable practices. Bordeaux Mon Commerce, the event organizer, is committed to a respectful organization, embedding these values into every aspect in order to foster positive and lasting dynamics

New on the Allées de Tourny


The outdoor ice rink is making its big return to Bordeaux, in the Triangle d'or district on the Allées de Tourny, close to our real estate agency in Bordeaux located at 38 cours Georges Clémenceau.
Gone is the energy-consuming traditional ice: an eco-friendly polyethylene surface ensures a more sustainable and just as fun experience, without the risk of getting soaked in case of a fall. Prices are affordable (€5 for children and €7 for adults), and a solidarity initiative will offer free tickets to families in need


From November 22nd to January 12th


Open every day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. (until 11 p.m. on weekends), this installation combines fun and responsibility
