The Christmas Market

is held on the second week of December . We have visited the market it is on the Place Crevecour.The market is held around the 12th of December every year

The market is just off one of the main shopping streets in Calais. We arrived about 10am and had no problems parking in the main street the charge was 1 euro for the hour.The market was just setting up I would get there around 11 30 it should be fully open by then. We went early to fit in several of the other Christmas market in the area.
