Amiens
(27 Nov - 27 Dec 2010)
Said to be the biggest and greatest Christmas market in Northern France, Amiens town centre transforms into a beautiful festive scene of Christmas Alpine splendour complete with around 120 chalets and stalls selling produce and goods from the Picardy region. Visitors to Amiens Christmas market can shop with ease as they wander through the pedestrianised streets filled with Christmas trees and decorations. Entertainment is also provided in the form of shows, carol singing, skating rink, activities for children and a giant fir tree.
It is also well worth paying an evening visit to the magnificent gothic Amiens cathedral, Notre-Dame d'Amiens. Listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1981, the cathedral of Notre-Dame d'Amiens is the centrepiece of the "Cathedral in Colours" light display, which is held during Christmas as well as at other times of the year.
