About the market
Mulhouse's Christmas market is built around the town's textile heritage. Each year a special Christmas fabric, 'l'étoffe', is designed and used across the market, and the official site sells collectible objects made from it. The Christmas candle is presented as a symbol of local craft. The 2026 programme also lists a 'Jardin d'hiver' (winter garden) and a 'Marché secret'.

About Mulhouse
Mulhouse is the largest city in Haut-Rhin and the second-largest in Alsace after Strasbourg, close to both the Swiss and German borders. Once an industrial town nicknamed 'the French Manchester', it is now known for its museums. The Cité de l'Automobile and the Cité du Train are respectively the largest car and railway museums in Europe, and both are good winter visits. It is also home to the Upper Alsace University.
