Let’s make it clear right away: no, it’s never too early to talk about Christmas, and yes, it only took a single day below 15 degrees for us to start dreaming of that wonderful season again. We’re ready for all the festivities, and among the magical markets that contribute to the holiday excitement, we definitely have the iconic XXL Japanese market at La Cité Fertile on our list. This former SNCF freight station in Pantin has been transformed into an ecological and social third place. There, we can stock up on delightful treats and unique gifts straight from the Land of the Rising Sun.

80 exhibitors for 100% Japanese shopping
Shizen – nature in Japanese – is the Japanese Christmas village that has been setting up every year for almost five years in the heart of Citée Fertile. This time, it's giving us a date on December 7th and 8th to embark on a holiday shopping spree and find THE perfect gift for your family (or for yourself, self love first). In total, there will be 80 exhibitors celebrating Japanese art and craftsmanship, offering illustrations, local teas, decor items, mountains of clothing, and, above all, kimonos and sakes…

Animations, workshops, food…
In addition to the many exhibitor booths, Shizen is planning a few delightful surprises and activities including traditional dance performances, concerts, performances, podcast listening sessions, and festive DJ sets. Like last year, we’re also expecting a bunch of fun workshops such as calligraphy, origami, manga, and ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement). And of course, it all comes with a delicious food & drink offering. The detailed program will be revealed in December, stay tuned!
