The end-of-year festivities are fast approaching, and the Confluence Commerce and Leisure Center has everything planned to create a magical and warm atmosphere along with some amazing activities. Starting November 15th and running until December 28th, a Christmas market will be set up in front of the Histoire d'Or shop, featuring 5 charming chalets brimming with tasty treats and gift ideas: sweets, cheeses, cold cuts, nougats, jewelry... Everything you need to fill your sack with artisanal goodies while soaking up the Christmas spirit.

Decorations and Santa Claus are here!
Since November 14th, Confluence has unveiled its new festive decorations, with an "extra" theme that delights both young and old. And of course, when we think of Christmas, we think of Santa Claus! The big bearded man in red will arrive at the central square, at the foot of the tree, starting December 14th until Christmas Eve, the 24th. A photo with him will cost you €15, but members of the loyalty program will enjoy a 50% discount (only €7.50) on their first photo. A professional photographer will be on site to capture these precious memories, and selfie lovers won't be left out.

Festive Animations and Unique Artistic Shows
On the Saturdays 14th and 21st of December afternoons, the center will come alive with artistic shows (3 performances of 20-25 minutes each at 3:30 PM, 4:30 PM, and 5:30 PM) and enchanting strolls featuring artists wandering through the center, giving visitors a fully immersive experience. There will be parades themed around The Greatest Show, presenting a spectacular show inspired by the circus and grand performances. For the generous ones, a booth run by the Scouts of France will offer gift-wrapping services right next to the reception (on December 1, 4, 7, 8, 11, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 from 10 AM to 7 PM, except for Wednesdays starting at 1 PM).
