A creative market that will save all your gifts
Forget about the usual stalls: The Grand Playground is totally becoming Santa's HQ for 2025! On the agenda: 180 creators, spread over three weekends, transforming the aisles of the Playground into a modern treasure trove.
Jewelry, ceramics, decor items, posters, stylish fashion, artisanal gems… a delightful array of original (and local) gift ideas in an immersive setting that makes you want to touch everything. We sip on a hot drink, taste a bit of seasonal street food, stroll around, treat ourselves… ticking off the entire gift list in just one afternoon!

Palomano creates the favorite Christmas town for children
On the family side, Palomano has designed a magical mini-town that rivals movie sets: trails of Christmas trees, a giant photobooth, Santa's mailbox, creative workshops galore… And above all: PALO-NOËL, a big immersive event on December 20 and 21, made to amaze kids aged 0-10 (and the parents who secretly want to join in the fun).
It’s sweet, playful, and perfect for keeping the kids entertained while keeping your last brain cell alive.

The Halle Gourmande goes into Christmas Refuge mode
After the gifts and workshops? Off we go to the Christmas Refuge, the winter version of the Halle Gourmande: reimagined mountain dishes, winter treats, melted cheeses, expertly crafted mulled wines (yes, that makes all the difference), and even Christmas afterworks to extend the magic into the evening.
It’s the perfect spot for a tasty break, a relaxed evening with friends, or a cozy Sunday brunch.
