Tuileries Christmas Market (Marché de Noël des Tuileries)
🎉 With friends🧒 With kidsWhat's there
- In the Tuileries Garden, near Place de la Concorde
- Ferris wheel and funfair
- Ice rink
- Free entry
What visitors sayGoogle 3.3 ★ · 511 reviews
The atmosphere is festive and bright, with lots of rides and food. The criticisms: it's more a funfair than a craft market, prices are high and vary widely from stall to stall, and the stalls all look alike.
Fun for an evening with children or friends, but not for crafts. For authenticity, aim for Notre-Dame or Alsace.

What visitors sayGoogle 3.9 ★ · 77 reviews
Many prefer it to the big Paris markets: small, charming, a more authentic atmosphere, gentle music and friendly vendors, with the view of Notre-Dame. Others find it too small and too expensive for what it offers.
The most charming Paris market for a stroll for two, though not for a big meal.

What visitors sayGoogle 2.7 ★ · 73 reviews
Most reviews call it a tourist trap: excessive prices (a waffle for €10), mediocre quality, a single entrance and exit that causes queues, and aggressive unlicensed street sellers around the site.
Avoid it if you have a choice. Notre-Dame or the Tuileries are nicer.
