December 6, 2023

It's almost time for the end of year celebrations in La Roche-sur-Yon! 🎄 The trees are decorated, the garlands are finding a place in store windows. We don't forget that it's still autumn but the Christmas spirit is gradually creeping into our heads! 🎅

Across the #destinationlarochesuryon, several events are emerging from town to town. Today the Tourist Office takes stock Christmas activities for the end of 2023! 🥳🥂

For greater visibility, past events are removed throughout the month of December.

Christmas celebration in La Roche-sur-Yon until January 6

With a rich and varied program, with family or friends, share magical and friendly moments: Santa Claus village, Christmas market, shows, concerts, artistic strolls and this year, the village of enchanted bubbles which invites you to daydream and wonder. ✨

In the city center and in the neighborhoods, the magic of Christmas is back in La Roche-sur-Yon ! 🎅

The Urban Christmas Markets 🥰
