Let's take a magical trip to Dunkirk!
Just 45 minutes from Lille, this famous port city is donning its festive lights for the holiday season. I call it Dunkirk the Enchanted, delighting all visitors until January 5! What's on the agenda? A town hall that has completely transformed into Santa's castle, a traditional Christmas market with a free ice rink, a 35-meter-high Ferris wheel, seasonal specialties, and handmade crafts; plus a magical light trail that sparkles throughout the city. And guess what? This weekend, the Halle aux sucres is hosting a wonderful market filled with eco-friendly and ethical gift ideas; free workshops to create your own presents; a participatory slow fashion fashion show with plenty of upcycled pieces; fun shows for both young and old; e...To top it all off, there's a 17h to midnight electro ball, featuring the amazing Jennifer Cardini as a special guest. The continuation of this delightful program takes place outdoor: with a Wonderful Garden filled with completely wild rides, an installation that bridges land and sea allowing us to see auroras borealis without leaving France, and collective artworks that are simple in energy but vibrant, activated throughout the city. In short, Dunkirk has everything you need to dazzle you during a getaway!
