Craft market, Christmas farm, artistic strolls, carriage parade, concerts, fireworks… For its first edition, the Carnac Christmas market is thinking big. Indeed, the Carnac Traders’ Union and the town are joining forces to offer “to everyone, two days of magic between town and beach”, as Sophie Paquier, the president of the association, explains.
