Marché de Noël à la Fusterie

The Marché de Noël à la Fusterie brings artisan charm to the heart of Geneva's Old Town each December. Located at the historic Place de la Fusterie, this intimate Christmas market showcases the talents of local artisan creators in charming wooden chalets surrounding the square's temple. Unlike Geneva's larger markets, the Fusterie market focuses exclusively on handcrafted, locally-made goods, making it the perfect destination for travelers seeking authentic Swiss gifts and unique artisan treasures. Browse through stalls featuring hand-poured candles, artisan ceramics and pottery, handcrafted jewelry, traditional Swiss woodwork, and locally-made soaps. The market operates during regular store hours throughout its run, with a special evening shopping event on December 23rd creating a magical atmosphere for last-minute gift hunters. The intimate scale and central location make it easy to combine with exploring Geneva's Old Town attractions. Note that the artisans occasionally join the Plainpalais flea market on certain days, so the Fusterie market may not operate on December 11 and 14. This market perfectly captures Geneva's commitment to supporting local craftsmanship and sustainable shopping, offering visitors a more curated, artisan-focused alternative to larger commercial Christmas markets. Plan your visit during weekday afternoons for a relaxed browsing experience in this picturesque historic square.
