Marseille, France Oceanfront<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you have decided to spend the holidays in the South of France (and who could blame you?) but are unsure of the location, allow us to recommend\u00a0Marseille<\/strong><\/a> and its famous festival of ligh<\/strong>ts<\/strong>. It takes no less than 26,000 bulbs, 13,000 meters of light strings, 95 decoration pieces, 170 light bouquets and 100 trees to bring 300 areas in the city to glorious life from November 25 to January 10<\/strong>. Bonus: If you\u2019re there on December 17, you can even join the organized night walk that will take you to the most dazzling spots.<\/p>\n

The holiday season is also the opportunity to reconnect with long-time traditions such as the Santon Festival<\/strong>, which has continuously taken place there since 1802. So from November 20 to December 31, 40 santon-makers will exhibit their small hand-painted terra cotta figurines<\/strong> and diligently work on their nativity scenes on the Place General de Gaulle.<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, the Christmas Market<\/strong> will feature more than 50 artists and craftsmen<\/strong> from the Vieux Port to the all\u00e9es de Meilhan during that same period. There, you\u2019ll be able to look for the perfect gifts for your loved ones back home\u2026 or some treats for yourself too! From local produce to unique arts and crafts, the only problem you are likely to face is too much of a choice.<\/p>\n

Whether during the holiday season or at any other time, France\u2019s 2nd largest city, Marseille, offers all types of vacation rentals<\/a>, and so does New York Habitat.<\/p>\n
