Having become an enchanted forest, the most emblematic square in Toulon brings together young and old, gourmands and gourmets, visitors looking for gifts or Provençal traditions. Nestled in a forest of illuminated fir trees, the most
majestic, 3m high, the Christmas market chalets are structured around three main areas: fun with rides and tobogganing; magical with a journey of enchanted and gastronomic bubbles around a journey of savory and/or sweet flavors where you will meet with family or friends to taste oysters, pick at a slice of cold meats, bite into a madeleine, enjoy yourself fruit jellies or chocolates.
The giant decor located in the heart of this gourmet village is made up of magical bubbles designed to dream and make people dream. Of different diameters, each of them features characters, each of whose details can be appreciated thanks to a 360° vision. A real stroll through the land of dreams and imagination... with stars in your eyes and a touch of nostalgia in your heart. Children can also have fun twirling in the merry-go-round or sliding down the toboggan run set up between the conifers.
The animated nativity scene offered by Gérard Abbes also contributes to the magic of Christmas. This sound and light show, which amazes young and old, has become over the years one of the most popular attractions at the end of the year. The city's emblematic places feature prominently and the
famous characters (Mayol, Raimu, etc.) are skillfully presented there.
The animated crèche is a concentrate of the history of Toulon and Provence. You have to let yourself be captivated by its special atmosphere and seduced by the voice of the storyteller who transports young and old into a world full of emotions.

A party wouldn't be a party without its traditional rides. For the greatest pleasure of all, these attractions are found on the Place d'Armes to complete the pleasure of sliding offered by the ice rink. Santa Claus and his
Rennes will take you on board for thrills on board mini eight wagons or carried through the air by sleds
swirling.
Well installed in his cozy chalet, Santa Claus will be the king of the place. He will be waiting for young and old for a photo - for the less shy - but above all to collect the famous letters, illustrated or handwritten. Requests that he will gradually pass on to his elves who will put all their heart into responding to the wishes of the wisest.
To restore stomachs starved by the effort, 6 chalets filled with salty and sweet treats – Belgian fries or chichi fregi – will be installed near the ice rink terrace.
