Bô Noël Lausanne - Place Pépinet

Bô Noël Lausanne at Place Pépinet offers a refreshingly modern take on Switzerland's Christmas market tradition. Known as the Creators' Market, this contemporary venue showcases local fashion designers, jewelry artisans, and design-oriented craftspeople, setting it apart from traditional wooden chalet markets. Located in Lausanne's vibrant city center, Place Pépinet is one of several themed market locations that make up the larger Bô Noël celebration, all within walking distance of each other. The market features sustainable jewelry, unique clothing items, and handcrafted home goods perfect for distinctive gift shopping. Visitors can enjoy the festive atmosphere while discovering emerging local talent and one-of-a-kind creations. The market operates alongside other Bô Noël venues including the main market at Place Saint-François, the Igloo du Terroir at Place de l'Europe, and entertainment areas at Flon with its Ferris wheel and ice skating rink. Open from late November through New Year's Eve, the market welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 11:30am to 10:30pm, with slightly shorter hours on Sundays. The contemporary design aesthetic and focus on local creators make this a must-visit for travelers seeking unique, artisan-made souvenirs beyond traditional Christmas ornaments. Combine your visit with stops at other Bô Noël locations to experience the full range of Lausanne's festive offerings.
