'Tis the season of

Marchés de Noel. Mainly small local one or two day events attracting artisans and artists hoping to sell enough Christmas gifts to make standing all day in freezing weather worthwhile.
The Toulouse market fills the Place du Capitole with over 100 stands and lasts from this weekend until Christmas Eve (though apparently not open Sundays).

It costs 4000-6000 euros to rent a stall, but with 2 million visitors expected traders will be hoping for a good profit. Security measures will be tight and police ask traders and customers alike to be vigilant. Opening hours are 10h30 - 20h30 weekdays and 10h30 - 22h Friday and Saturday.
