You know the holidays are around the corner. What better way to get into the yuletide spirit, crossing a few items off your gift list, than strolling through a spice-scented market complete with artisans and vendors offering their goods: Hand crafted jewellery, gourmet treats, luxury and artisanal gifts and holiday decorations of all sorts.

The elegant, centuries old Château de Coppet, residence of exiled Mme de Stael and the site of her celebrated literary salons, today is the fairytale venue for many cultural events and celebrations. The Christmas market is particularly at home in this historic setting. This one close to Geneva is one surely not to be missed is the Marché de Noël at the Chateau de Coppet the centuries-old stately home which was once the residence of the exiled Mme de Stael.
