Christmas in Argelès

Covid 19 caused serious disruption to 2020 so, in compliance with sanitary rules and regulations, the seaside town of Argelès sur Mer is happy to welcome residents and visitors to their Christmas village.

The Christmas village will throw open its enchanted doors in Place Gambetta from Saturday 18th to Thursday 24th December.

Every day from 3pm to 7pm, the whole family can revel in the joy of Christmas with a range of activities and free exhibitions.

The following are usually part of the Christmas line-up but still remain to be confirmed for 2021:

• Pony rides and an educational farm, where ducks, geese, chickens warm visitors hearts.
• For the little ones (or the big ones!), delicious candy floss and in the Catalan tradition, a tasty xicolatada (hot chocolate) is the perfect accompaniment to the twinkling lights.
• And, of course, the main man himself takes time out from preparing his deliveries to take photos with the little ones.
