Sarlat Christmas Market.

Trees, Santa’s Grotto, decorations of every kind, chocolates, candy canes, gifts for the family and friends, plus an ice rink… Ah, the joyous sights and sounds of the holiday season! Christmas comes alive with a wonderful array of festive delights.

Below the market, among the trees lies Santa’s Grotto, a magical place where children’s dreams come true. With its glistening snow-covered roof, Santa’s Grotto welcomes all who want to whisper their wishes into Santa’s ear. The excitement is palpable as children eagerly await their turn to meet the jolly old man himself, and perhaps even receive a small token of his generosity..

Each year Sarlat chooses a country to represent in the Christmas Market, this year it is Norway. As you navigate through the bustling themed market stalls, you cannot help but be drawn to the dazzling array of decorations. From handmade ornaments crafted with love and precision to whimsical figurines which add a touch of sparkle to any Christmas display, there is something for every taste and style.

Of course, no Christmas market would be complete without the tempting aroma of sweet treats wafting through the air. Chocolates of every variety, from rich and velvety truffles to crunchy caramel-filled delights. Hot chocolate with cream or marshmallows or both, mulled wine and fresh pastries entice you to indulge in the irresistible flavors of the season.

Amidst all the festive delights, you’ll also find an abundance of gifts for your loved ones.
