Our markets for creators, craftsmen and illustrators are real hothouses of creation and just as inspired as they are inspiring! You can find unique pieces in an arty atmosphere and local craftsmanship in all its forms: silk-screened posters, ceramics, little good luck charms, greeting cards, textile creations and natural cosmetics... there's so much to fill your Christmas stockings with! 

More than ever before, bringing together New Year celebrations and solidarity is one of our priorities. Here are some ideas with a powerful identity to support an association, lend a helping hand to the most disadvantaged, hold ethical festivities and encourage us all to buy better in this period when overabundance is all too often the rule.

 The glittering silhouette of the Ferris wheel, the authentic atmosphere of the little wooden chalets, the fragrant scents of mulled wine and biscuits, Christmas is also a whole package of different sensations and pleasures that bring back our childhood memories. Here are some of the markets to dive into headlong with traditions from here and from elsewhere.
