A Christmas spectacle unlike any other on the Channel coast
Le Touquet-Paris-Plage has a well-earned reputation for pulling out all the stops at Christmas. On Saturday 12 December 2026, starting at 6 pm, the town's Grande Parade de Noël takes over the streets with close to 200 costumed dancers and performers, 10 illuminated floats, and a musical backdrop that turns the entire town centre into a stage. Whether you have young children wide-eyed at the lights or simply love the atmosphere of a proper French winter celebration, this is an evening worth building a trip around.
Highlights of the parade
- Nearly 200 dancers and performers in spectacular costumes
- 10 glittering floats winding through the town's main avenues
- Live music and festive soundtrack throughout the procession
- Family-friendly route through the town centre — easy to find a great vantage point
The whole event unfolds outdoors, so layer up and embrace the crisp December air. A hot drink from one of the nearby Christmas market stalls makes the wait even more enjoyable.
