With an age-old tradition dating back to the 14th century, France is one of those countries in Europe, where celebrating Christmas with zest and fervor is deeply rooted within its national culture. And since the concept of the world's first ever Christmas Tree originated from here, France has as much right to the title of ‘The Home of Christmas’ as the North Pole. Owing to the diverse geography running from the French Alps to the Mediterranean, France follows different Christmas customs in different regions. But there is one thing in common - the Christmas Markets!
In France, whether or not it's a white Christmas, it’s very easy to enter the festive spirit by simply following the aroma of toasted almonds, hot roasted chestnuts, freshly baked apples, gingerbread hearts, and mulled red wine. Gorgeous Christmas Tree decorations, nativity figures, and charming wooden stalls (chalets) selling hand-knitted shawls, mittens, socks, fragrant candle lights, artisanal spoons, toys, and other woodwork in the Christmas Markets located at the medieval Old Town Centers in practically every city, create a one-of-a-kind ambiance. Today, an estimated 27 million people visit France’s Christmas markets every year!
