Santa's Hamlet - Grand Parc d'Andilly

Santa's Authentic Home

Step inside this charming old house, filled with heritage, history, and the secrets of the world’s most famous man in red.

A lover of traditional Christmas charm, Santa’s home reflects his passion: red and green dominate, while the warmth of wood and the sweet holiday scents fill his kitchen, bedroom, and toy-making workshop.

At the elf house, the magic is just as strong, though everything is a little smaller!

Wander through the rooms and corridors of this lovely home—you might just run into Santa himself, unless he’s tending to his sleigh in the garden.


Santa Claus will be present every day his house is open, both in summer and winter!

From October to December, expect longer waiting times—he’ll be extremely busy preparing for Christmas!

The House of Mrs. Claus

Did you know that Santa had a large number of sisters?

Well different from one another, they too have set up their little cocoon.

A real feminine touch will grace the place where you can discover them before attending one of the tales they offer throughout the day.

Le Grenier aux Totottes

Undoubtedly, the sweetest place in Santa Claus’ Hamlet…

A place where adults reconnect with their childhood, and little ones take their first steps toward growing up. This is where Santa proudly displays his favorite gifts: pacifiers, binkies, soothers (or whatever you like to call them!) that children give him once they’ve made their big decision. And it’s the Sandman who watches over these little treasures.

Thanks to these generous children, for every pacifier gifted, Santa donates a meal to a child in Cambodia through the association  "Pour Un Sourire d'Enfant".

Le Jardin des lutins

Outside, don’t miss THE SLEIGH.

In fact, this is where he most often waits for you

A few meters away, you can drop your letter in one of the mailboxes of Santa, Mrs. Claus or other family friend,.

Finish your discovery of the garden with the large illuminated fir tree that sits here.




The Storybook Cottage

All throughout the day, Mrs. Claus and other magical residents will share their most enchanting tales.

Whether you’re comfortably seated downstairs or exploring the attic brimming with hidden treasures, let yourself be carried away into a world of imagination.
