Rodez. That’s it, the Christmas festivities are launched on the Piton!

Rodez finds his party clothes again. About ten days before Christmas, the end-of-year activities have been launched since yesterday. Enough to energize the city during this period. Especially since the program has a major novelty this year, the installation of a real Christmas market on Place Foch organized by Press Center alongside the municipality.

On the program, around twenty chalets and just as many exhibitors offer their know-how and the essentials of the period between delicacies and last minute gift ideas. So, the mulled wine is likely to flow freely until December 24, the closing day of the event. Festivities inaugurated by the mayor of Rodez, Christian Teyssèdre, last evening. A councilor satisfied with the organization of the event. “We must praise the know-how of Center Presse which has skills that we do not necessarily have as a community”he believes. An event which is barely in its first edition but which the mayor wishes to perpetuate. “We have several tracks for next year. And I’m sure that from this Saturday there will be a lot of people here!”porcupine Christian Teyssèdre.

See you today until 10 p.m.

But that’s not all. The ice rink on Place de la Cité also opened its doors this Friday, as did the little train, which takes place in the same space. A program that wants to enchant the city center during this period. To do this, several activities will enliven the city along the water. Today is no exception. In addition to a night at the Christmas market – which closes on Saturday at 10 p.m. and not at 7 p.m. as will be the case on other days – a magical parade is planned at 5 p.m., it will be followed by a concert by the duo Duganels.

Something to warm hearts during a weekend that promises to be lively on the Piton. Christmas period obliges, as well as the market or the ice rink, the shops in the city center will be open on Sunday.
