The Clisson Christmas Markets will be held on 13 and 14 December and 20 and 21 December in the town’s historic centre.

Under its medieval halls, Clisson offers what is undoubtedly the most picturesque Christmas market in the Vignoble Nantais. The Italian town is transformed into a fairytale setting, with craftspeople, producers, designers and musicians enlivening the cobbled streets, while Place du Minage and Square Mathurin Crucy, at the foot of the castle, become the beating heart of the festivities.

As it does every year, the Clisson ice rink returns to Place Jacques Demy to complete the programme and offer you unforgettable moments in the town with its Italian flavour.

The end-of-year festivities are also a time for family shows and gourmet meetings and open days with our winegrowers!
