The Christmas festivities at Valence do not end with the New Year. The city, known as the gateway to the south of France, keeps its old town lit up, with the cobblestone streets full of magic and the Parc Jouvet decorated with bright lights that invite you to stroll. During the Epiphany holidays, local pastry shops, such as the historic Nivon, are a must-see, where you can taste the amazing "galette des rois". In addition, its proximity to the Alps provides a fresh and mountainous air, perfect for those who are fans of winter and who seek it at all costs.
In Montpellier, the spirit of the festivities continues with its famous Les Hivernales Christmas market, which usually runs until January. There's also many other Christmas markets you can enjoy in the city and that we are sure you will love.
The streets of the historic centre, especially around the Place de la Comédie, are decorated with lights that seem to dance to the rhythm of music and the bustle of passers-by. Winter here is not just a season, but a celebration of life and culture, perfect for capping off the Christmas season with a glass of mulled wine and a slice of "galette des rois".
