En attendant Noël

Advent is a long time to wait for children to discover their Christmas presents! To keep the curious ones waiting, Gruyères Castle unveils the treasures of three Swiss private collections through more than 200 historic Advent calendars.

Discover the fabulous world of cherubs, Santa Claus and his elves, and meet the famous illustrators who made them sparkle. From Advent stars to advertising calendars, the exhibition highlights the earliest examples of this tradition, and hints at the surprises hidden behind those mysterious windows we love to open.
