LE FABULEUX VILLAGE DES FLOTTINS

Program at this link.

12 December 2025 through 3 January 2026
Evian, France

An alternative to Christmas markets. Within a driftwood decor, "flottins" and "flottines" wander freely. These creatures call out to the public to recount their latest stories or to tease parents and children. Ready for poetic or explosive encounters in a setting of chimera sculptures? The "Fabuleux Village" is an extraordinary cultural event that resolutely takes the opposite side of the commercial Christmas. 

The sculptures are installed throughout downtown Evian.

The floats are present every day from 3pm to 7pm.

In the north of the department of Haute-Savoie, Evian is built in an amphitheater on the shores of Lake Geneva, facing Switzerland and backed by the pre-Alps of Chablais, between 372 and 730 meters above sea level.

The city benefits from an exceptional environment between lake and mountains, which has given it its reputation as an international tourist resort.

As the birthplace of the world-famous natural mineral water, Evian has managed to preserve and enhance part of its architectural heritage and presents the image of a welcoming and dynamic city.
