This should really by my post for Friday but I’m giving you some advance warning as it starts this Friday.
Les Flâneries de Noël is on this weekend. It starts on Friday and runs through to Sunday.
What is it ? It’s an artists / creators market. There’ll also be things happening for free for the public (You know when you find yourself lacking in the English words for Animations et Spectacles… THAT right now)
Trentemoult is well known for it’s artist’s community and for this market they end up opening up their doors / workshops and selling things. You’ll get to talk to the artists .. wander around the quirky little streets and probably have a great time. You won’t have to walk miles to visit the various places and hopefully you’ll pick up something nice.
How do you get there?
You can take the Shuttle Boat to get across which should make for one of the cheapest boat trips of your life 🙂 You can use your TAN card / or 1 hour tan ticket if you’ve still got time left on it. You can buy a ticket on the boat as well. If you’re taking the Line 1 Tram you can get off at Gare Maritime and head to the river where you’ll see the shuttle boat. They run every 10 – 20 minutes depending on the time of day.
Of course I’m probably a bit biased on it all as I always end up calling in to a friend’s (Siobhan Gately) place when I find myself in Trentemoult and come away smiling and in a great mood.
Could it be my cat obsession? 🙂
If you get the chance definitely check it out definitely do. A chance to buy some local products / art just in time for unique Christmas presents and to get to chat with the artists is kinda cool.
