Moselle. Do you know how many visitors attended the Metz Christmas market last year?

The Beer Festival, which ended on November 3, attracted “more than 25,000 people to Metz. Coaches even came from Reims.” The news was given during the presentation of the Metz Christmas market, at the Inspire Metz tourist office. Which once again initiates a promotional campaign to make it known in Paris, but also abroad.

“With a budget of around €200,000,” says Cédric Gouth, its president. Its notoriety has positive consequences on the hotel business and restaurants. »

German and French tourists

For example, the Metz Christmas market attracted “25% more visitors last year compared to 2022, therefore more accommodation for German tourists but also French people coming, for the most part, from the Hauts -of France and the Paris region”.

The number is in the millions and has benefited the cathedral, the religious monument increasing its attendance by “66%” during the event. Did you guess?

“In 2023, 4.7 million people walked the aisles of the Christmas market which is held at Place de la République, Saint-Louis, Saint-Jacques, de la Comédie and Place d’Armes. »

Discounted train tickets

How many will there be this year, from November 22 to December 30? Perhaps more “thanks to a partnership with the SNCF offering train tickets at the promotional price of €38 to travel from Paris to Metz by TGV, which allows Parisians to return several times,” hopes Cédric Gouth.

All you have to do is follow the signage put in place from the station to the different atmospheres and why not take a boat ride with Santa Claus?
