For four days, the town of Payerne is transformed into a magical setting, much to the delight of residents and visitors. Located on the Place du Marché, the event charms visitors who enjoy the warmth of the Christmas chalets as well as the streets and alleys nestling under the illuminations.

Imbued with the scents of Advent, the chalets offer an ideal backdrop for sharing authentic moments while enjoying delicious mulled wine and local products. In this fairytale setting, visitors can make the most of several musical events in the canteen. At the heart of this welcoming, festive atmosphere, children old and young can meet the most famous symbol of the end of year festivities: Father Christmas.
