The Christmas Spirit in Carcassonne

From December 3rd, 2025 to January 3rd 2026

Every winter, Carcassonne lights up and transforms to offer residents and visitors a real escape from everyday life: the Magic of Christmas.

For one whole month, let yourself be carried by the city’s festive atmosphere and share precious moments with family or friends.

Across the four corners of Carcassonne, surprises await you :

  • Giant shimmering bubbles and luminous fountains on Square Gambetta,
  • Medieval camps in the heart of the Cité,
  • A magical visual immersion under the Prosper Montagné Market Hall,
  • Virtual reality experiences,
  • The long-awaited return of the ice rink on Place Carnot,
  • And of course Santa’s Park and its iconic Ferris wheel on Square Chénier.
