One weekend in December the upper town celebrates Christmas with a medieval market. In 2026 it falls on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December. That weekend the underground passages are open almost all day, from 11:30 to 17:30 on Saturday and from 11:30 to 16:30 on Sunday, and the Caesar Tower and the Tithe Barn keep their winter hours.
How to go
It is the busiest day of the winter. If you go by car, the municipal police and car park attendants organise the parking: the tourist office car park opens as spaces permit, and there are extra car parks on the Boulevard d'Aligre, the old distillery on the Route de Bray and the sports hall. By train, line P comes from Gare de l'Est; check beforehand that there is no engineering work that weekend.
