Gourmet Christmas market

The Gourmet Christmas Market at Hoba in Parc Martin Luther King offers Parisian food lovers an intimate celebration of French culinary excellence during the holiday season. Located in the 17th arrondissement at 147 rue Cardinet, this artisan-focused market transforms the contemporary Hoba venue into a festive showcase of regional French specialties. Unlike the larger tourist-oriented Christmas markets in central Paris, this gourmet event emphasizes quality over quantity, featuring carefully selected producers from France's renowned terroirs. Visitors can discover fresh oysters and seafood delicacies, authentic foie gras from Corrèze, artisanal cheeses, and traditional boulangerie treats. The market creates a warm, convivial atmosphere where passionate artisans share their craft and regional traditions with Parisians seeking authentic holiday flavors. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the curated selection of French wines perfect for festive celebrations, while mulled wine stations provide the quintessential Christmas market experience. The intimate scale allows for meaningful conversations with producers who bring their regional expertise directly to the capital. This market appeals particularly to gourmets and locals looking to source premium ingredients for their holiday tables rather than mass-produced souvenirs. Plan your visit during the mid-December dates to experience this culinary celebration and take home exceptional products that capture the essence of French gastronomic heritage.
