In December, the Métropole was full of good cheer
In La Garde, the Hivernales made a magical return. In La Valette-du-Var, it was a magical time, and in Le Pradet, the atmosphere was warm and festive.
With its 24th edition, the Hivernales offered the public a moment suspended in time, among the most beautiful Christmas villages in the region. During the month of December, the heart of the city was transformed into a magical village. Nearly 100 chalets welcomed artisans, producers, and creators, while a Christmas area, resembling a fairground and carnival, plunged visitors into a festive and warm atmosphere. Faithful to its identity, the event gave pride of place to Provence and its traditions, with the must-see santon fair.
IN LA VALETTE, A VARIED PROGRAM
La Valette experienced the excitement of the end-of-year holidays with a program for young and old. Visitors discovered the Village de la glisse et des délices and the Chapiteau des merveilles, which offered activities for all ages: a roller rink, curling, a mini-farm, creative workshops to make cards and decorate the tree, but also board games, retro and arcade games, and old wooden games. Tradition was honored with the seniors' Christmas dinner, giant street parades, and the veillée calendale.
A FAMILY CHRISTMAS IN LE PRADET
Fireworks, the scent of hot chocolate and mulled wine, children's laughter, and twinkling lights—the town reconnected with the magic of Christmas in a warm and friendly atmosphere. During the festivities, young and old enjoyed a program designed for the whole family. The celebrations concluded in high spirits with a Christmas party and the traditional end-of-year swim, a must-attend event for the bravest. A festive and unifying program that brought the Pradétans together in a joyful family atmosphere.
