Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on weekends to fully enjoy the free ice skating and carousel before they become too crowded.
- Bring cash for the artisan vendors, as not all may accept card payments for their unique handmade goods.
- Check the specific opening hours for Santa's chalet in advance to ensure your little ones don't miss their chance to meet him.
- Explore the diverse food offerings beyond the usual crepes; try the tartiflette or oysters for a more substantial, local flavor.
