Alencon Christmas 2025

Discover the end-of-year festivities in Alençon with our complete guide to winter celebrations. From local traditions to seasonal events, we present the best ways to enjoy this festive period in our lace-making city.

Place de la Magdeleine, Alençon's historic heart, hosts the traditional Christmas market with its wooden chalets and local artisans. The Saint-Léonard district comes alive with spectacular illuminations, while the Notre-Dame Basilica offers sacred music concerts. The cobblestone streets of the city center, lined with half-timbered facades, create a warm atmosphere where the scents of mulled wine and gingerbread mingle.

Happy Holidays!
