TROIS VILLAGES - CINQ HAMEAUX - ET MILLE ET UNE DÉCOUVERTES

Throughout the city, St. Nicholas has set up villages and hamlets filled with delights and gifts of all kinds: you're all invited to join in the fun!
Please note that the Grand Village de St Nicolas and the little hamlet of Nico et Mouja will close on December 28, 2024, and the others on January 5, 2025.

- Le Grand Village de Saint-Nicolas: Place Charles III
Aptly named! Run by the association Les Vitrines de Nancy, it's not only the biggest, but also the oldest of the Saint-Nicolas villages. With its sixty wooden chalets arranged in a circle, its thousands of lights and its enchanting décor, it forms a fantastic maze overflowing with gift ideas to bargain for and specialities to sample. Bonus: entertainment from Wednesday to Sunday and new, extended opening hours.

- Le Bois des 3 Petits Enfants Village : Place Simone Veil
Proudly erected opposite the station, this is the gateway to the Fêtes de Saint Nicolas: once again this year, Le Village du Bois des 3 petits enfants celebrates the miracles of the legend. A family atmosphere during the day, with Christmas carols, a merry-go-round and entertainment for the little ones; in the evening, a winter guinguette for the grown-ups, to eat, drink and dance!

- Ferris Wheel and Skating Rink Village: Place de la Carrière
Imagine ice-skating in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site, then soaring thirty meters into the air to enjoy an extraordinary view of the ducal city... Open your eyes: the dream has become reality! Thanks to the installation of a forty-metre-long skating rink between the illuminated trees of the Place de la Carrière, right next to the Ferris wheel! It adds a touch of enchantment to this beautiful village, with children's rides and gourmet chalets ready to satisfy all your sweet and savoury cravings - and even a champagne stand. Royal!

- Le Hameau gourmand de saint Nicolas: Place Vaudémont
A popular afterwork venue, Le Hameau gourmand de saint Nicolas has always been supported by the association "Le grenier de Callot". Whether you're looking for a drink, a quick bite to eat or just to savour, you've come to the right place! Weekend events allow you to discover a whole range of local products.

- Le Hameau de la Craffe: under the Porte de la Craffe
Voluptuousness and refinement on the menu of this hamlet run by the restaurateur from "Carte Blanche" and "Le Vivier", nestled beneath the Porte de la Craffe!

- Le Hameau des Bons Vivants : Place Saint-Epvre
Good food, good atmosphere and good company: welcome to Le Hameau des bons vivants! On Place Saint-Epvre, the managers of "Le petit Bodiem" and "Speakeasy" have set up a catering chalet, another for drinks of all kinds, and a cosy, comfortable space for chilling out and having a good time!

- Le Hameau gourmand des Vosges: Porte Saint-Nicolas
Fancy a hearty tartiflette? A delicious, gourmet poutine? You've come to the right place, chums! Organized by the association Les Vedettes du Chardon and Tabarnak! this pretty hamlet of three chalets is ideal for a winter treat, with a host of winter specialities, mulled wine golaye and other fun activities, including concerts and exhibitions.

- Le petit Hameau de Nico et Moujat: Rue du Pont Mouja
This is the next (obligatory) stop on our gourmet and festive itinerary: a charming hamlet in the heart of the recently pedestrianized Rue du Pont Mouja.
