Annual Christmas Markets to be sure to visit in Paris 2022

Usually around the middle of November, the white stalls start popping up around the city and that can only mean one thing, the Christmas markets are coming. I missed out on some of my favorites last year so I’m very excited about going to all of these this year! I’ve created a calendar as well as a map with the Annual Christmas markets to be sure to visit in Paris and all the necessary details at the end of this post. You can add it to your calendar so you’ll know when the markets are happening.
