Unfortunately the renovation of Les Halles means that all the stalls this year are outside in the square. But it isn't only work on Les Halles that is unfinished; the square and christmas tree were still being decorated long after the event had opened!
From the number of awnings, it looked as if the organisers were anticipating rain!
Fortunately it remained dry all day, though not quite as warm as this young man's clothing would suggest!
All the usual stalls were there, as well as the all-important "Creche Vivante" outside the church
and in the starring role.... The Three Wise Donkeys..
However the main attraction of the day was the arrival of Père Noël, seen here with his "Mascottes"..
Some little ones were more sure than others...
The event continues tomorrow and ends, as do all good French festivals, with a feu d'artifice. We will be there!
