Medieval Christmas market

At Christmas time, Ribeauvillé is filled with magic and immerses its visitors in a unique medieval atmosphere. The city of minstrels draws on its rich past to offer a medieval Christmas market that is both original and spectacular. In the bustling alleyways, beggars, peasants, dancers, and street performers wander joyfully, creating a truly exotic atmosphere. The stalls are brimming with savory and sweet treats, spit-roasted wild boar, cervoise, and mulled wine, while home decor enthusiasts will find what they’re looking for among the Advent wreaths, handcrafted nativity scenes, and candles. A true live spectacle, the Ribeauvillé Christmas market enchants young and old alike with its warm and festive atmosphere.
