The Paris Notre-Dame Christmas Market is held in Square René Viviani, at 2 rue du Fouarre. It is a specific market near Notre-Dame, not a collective name for every Christmas event in Paris.
French makers in a compact setting
The City of Paris describes a traditional market organised by L’Art et la Seine, with selected French exhibitors and artisans. Its emphasis is on French workshop production, gifts and food rather than a large fairground.
Use the setting as a reason to slow down and compare individual makers. A smaller market can be visited as one part of a walk, without expecting an entire day's programme from the stalls alone.
Planning the visit
The address and edition information above identify the correct venue. They should not be used as dates for the Tuileries market or other Parisian Christmas markets, which are organised separately.
Admission and purchases are different matters: free entry does not include food or gifts. Check the exact day's hours, especially around public holidays, and consult the organiser if you require information about a particular stall or activity.
