True to its values of sharing and generosity, the Paris La Défense Christmas Market is once again offering its charitable deposit-return program this year.
For the 2025 edition, visitors are invited to turn a single euro into a gesture of kindness and support dedicated organizations.
How can I participate in the solidarity deposit program?
On each visit, food lovers can enjoy a hot drink in a reusable cup for a one-euro deposit. At the end of their walk, they have a choice:
- Get their deposit back
- Donate it to the solidarity deposit program
All funds raised are donated in full to partner organizations. This initiative raises several thousand euros each year to support important local causes and adds even more meaning to the magic of Christmas.
A community cabin to highlight solidarity
In the heart of the market, a community booth is made available free of charge. Each week, a different organization sets up there to raise awareness among visitors about its initiatives.
For the 2025 edition:
- Ruban Rose
- Proxité
- Association du Site de La Défense
- La salle à manger
- Le Chaînon manquant
- Solution Orientation
- Habitat & humanisme
Visitors can get involved by talking with volunteers or making donations. This diversity of organizations reflects a Christmas spirit of solidarity and inclusivity, where everyone can support a cause that is close to their heart.
The magic of Christmas in the spirit of sharing
Combining enchantment and generosity, the Paris La Défense Christmas market shows that the magic of the holidays lies not only in the lights and treats, but also in sharing and kindness.
Thanks to the charity drop-off and the community chalet, everyone can take concrete action to support Ruban Rose and its partner organizations, and in this way help make this Christmas a more compassionate and socially conscious one.
A meaningful Christmas: a small gesture with a big impact
Every cup donation is a step toward a fairer and more compassionate world. The charitable deposit has become an integral tradition at the market, allowing every visitor to be part of a meaningful Christmas.
