A magical escape to the heart of local craftsmanship
From December 13 to 15, immerse yourself in the creative world of local artisans...
For the 6th edition, the Impérial Palace Annecy is transformed into a veritable showcase of creativity to welcome the Handcraft Christmas Market. This year, we invite you to come and discover the talents of some sixty passionate artisans
A unique selection of original gifts
The Christmas Market is the ideal opportunity to find unique and original gift ideas.
Whether you're looking for refined jewelry, elegant leather goods or textile accessories for babies and children, you'll find something to delight your loved ones. The artisans also exhibit handmade pottery and ceramics, scented candles, organic cosmetics, handmade soaps, and decorative objects that will add a festive touch to your home.
Each creation tells a story... that of its designer, and you'll have the opportunity to share these stories while supporting local craftsmanship.
A “gourmet corner” for your taste buds
The Christmas Market wouldn't be complete without a gourmet stopover with craftsmen who will introduce you to quality products: beekeeping, gastronomy, chocolates, cookies, teas, drinks, etc.
A snack bar will offer you a gourmet break with homemade crepes, coffee, hot chocolate and aperitif drinks... a convivial space where you can get together with family and friends to exchange your favorites and share your finds.
Santa Claus visit
To make this experience even more memorable, a Santa Claus will welcome children in the morning for souvenir photos.
This magical moment will allow the little ones to share their wishes and capture the joy of the holidays with their families. Don't miss this opportunity to create unforgettable memories in an enchanting setting, where laughter and wonder will take center stage.
