A gathering point during the holidays, the Christmas tree, with its majestic look and light decorations on the theme of toys, immerses everyone in a warm and festive atmosphere. And in this enchanted world, around this great tree, a Christmas village offers chalets of culinary delicacies, decoration and craft stands, and animated shop windows to amaze the little ones.
