“A Christmas market is a happy stopover, a way of returning to what makes us feel good: sharing, friendship, meeting, pleasure, gluttony. This decor invites us to rediscover our childhood hearts, to dive into our sense of wonder and celebration. Our first Christmas market is all of this, but above all it is another magnificent way to bring life to this district, to showcase our local producers and to promote economic activity in the sector. I invite you to make the Vieux-Saint-Eustache Christmas market your next must-see holiday destination! », said the mayor of Saint-Eustache, Mr. Pierre Charron.
