3Lille Christmas Market – A Cozy Northern Celebration
In the north of France, the city of Lille hosts a delightful Christmas market that has become a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Located in Place Rihour, Lille’s market is smaller than some of the larger markets in France, but it more than makes up for its size with its cozy and intimate atmosphere. Over 90 wooden chalets line the square, offering a wide array of Christmas gifts, from artisanal crafts to gourmet treats.
Lille’s market also features a large Ferris wheel in Place du Général de Gaulle, which offers breathtaking views of the city’s Christmas lights and decorations. As you stroll through the market, you can indulge in traditional French holiday treats such as tartiflette (a hearty dish made with potatoes, cheese, and bacon), as well as gaufres (waffles) and hot chocolate. The market’s festive spirit and warm atmosphere make it a perfect destination for families and couples looking to enjoy the magic of Christmas in the north of France.
