Giant ice rinks and polar sculptures: in the heart of the kingdom of ice!
At the heart of the Barcarès Christmas Village, ice skating takes on a spectacular dimension with two large natural ice rinks connected by incredible ice paths. In this magical, illuminated setting, skaters glide at their own pace along the frozen trails to share moments of pure joy with family or friends. All around this area, the lively magic of Christmas comes to life thanks to Santa Claus and his merry band of elves, teddy bears, and reindeer, who bustle about in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The polar immersion continues with the reopening of the legendary Ice Museum, which this year unveils a completely revamped exhibition design. This frosty escape features nearly thirty monumental sculptures carved with extreme finesse. Each visitor wanders among these ephemeral creations that reveal the secrets of Santa’s workshops. An unmissable and refreshing stop that promises to leave a lasting impression on all holiday lovers.
From the maze to local flavors: the magic of the Barcarès Christmas Village
Beyond the icy areas, the stroll continues into the heart of the enchanted forest, where decorated fir trees and magical lights create a true mountain setting. Visitors happily venture into a snow-covered maze before discovering incredible giant bubbles scattered across the ground: inside, automatons bring the magic of the holidays to life. Set to the music of traditional carousels that evoke a gentle sense of nostalgia, the village’s paths invite everyone to rediscover their inner child.
No visit would be complete without a stop at the legendary gourmet chalets. Scattered outdoors or under the large covered hall, these cozy food stands celebrate local products and the region’s hearty recipes. Whether you’re savoring a sweet treat on the go, sharing a savory specialty, or warming your hands around a steaming cup of mulled wine, each stop offers a friendly and delicious break in the spirit of the festivities.
