Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on weekends to fully explore the approximately thirty chalets before they become crowded.
- Check the specific operating dates for each of the three markets, as the creators and artisans market concludes earlier than the gourmet market.
- Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to the train station for easy access, and consider staying at the Best Western Plus L'Artist Hôtel for convenient accommodation.
- Bring cash for smaller purchases at the artisanal stalls, as not all vendors may accept card payments.
- Allow ample time to enjoy the children's activities, including the ice rink and carousels, especially if visiting with family.
