Marche de Noel in Cannes is under way and visitors can enjoy the Christmas lights and ambiance of the Christmas market by the harbour.
There is something particularly charming about the Christmas market at Cannes, the stalls are set around the bandstand and nearer to the sea there is a funfair area for children.
The heady smell of vin chaud, freshly cooked crepes and waffles drifts on the air and being Cannes you can even enjoy a glass of champagne in between perusing the stalls. Its not a very big Christmas market and doesn’t compare with Nice but all the same its nice to enjoy the Marche de Noel ambiance after a bit of Christmas shopping in Cannes.
There are Christmas markets all over the Cote d’Azur in France, both in the towns and villages (the best one we have come across is in Le Rouret), most of them start up around the 10th December.
We have villa accommodation in Nice as well as luxury villas in Cannes which can be used as a base from which to enjoy the Christmas markets and the south of France throughout the year. Do contact our holiday advisors for any further information you require either regarding the Christmas markets or self catering holiday accommodation in the French Riviera. We know the area very well and would be only to pleased to assist, just send us an email or call using our freephone number.
