About Sallertaine Christmas Market

The Sallertaine Christmas market takes place on 12-13 December 2026 in the emblematic Vendée Marais Breton village. Craft artisans, local producers, creators and Christmas animations meet in a magical setting, two weeks before the holidays. A must for authentic and original gifts.

The Sallertaine Christmas market

One of the flagship December events of Nord-Vendée. 2026: Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December. Sallertaine is home to many year-round art-and-craft artisans in its old alleys, so its Christmas market rests on a top-notch local creative pool — unlike more commercial markets.

Top-quality artisans

  • Ceramicists and potters
  • Glassmakers, glass-blowers
  • Jewellers and accessory designers
  • Painters and illustrators
  • Weavers and textile creators
  • Wood creators (toys, decor)
  • Soap and natural cosmetic makers
  • Local producers (honey, jam, wine, biscuits, chocolate, foie gras, saffron)
  • Handmade Christmas decor

A magical mood

Sallertaine's alleys light up: garlands, trees, wooden chalets. Authentic Vendée atmosphere, warm welcome from artisans who explain their craft. Frequent animations: choirs, Santa, kids workshops, hot wine tastings.

Meaningful gifts

Ideal for those wanting more than big-box presents: unique artisan pieces, quality local products, handmade items with a story. Chat with creators, gift with meaning.

Sallertaine in December

Island-village takes on a special charm in winter: Marais Breton bathed in golden light, canals reflecting the pale sky, calm authenticity. Ideal low-season discovery.

Nearby

Year-round workshops, Challans traditional market, Noirmoutier, Saint-Jean-de-Monts winter beaches.
