You may be a bit early for some of them , believe it or not we found gravelines market one of the best when we went, easy to get to , aire right on the job, but don't think it starts till about a fortnight before Xmas. Ypers is another easy one to get to.

I would second Gravelines, we have been two years running and found it to be great, lovely stalls, friendly atmosphere, and a very good champagne bar!

Gravelines is only twenty mins from Dunkirk or Calais.

Bruges is lovely - aire about 10mins walk from centre.

Aachen also good. Could do both easily in a week, and probably Gravelines as well - not been there might try it on way out for winter break.

Cologne is the best IMHO, with 6/7 different markets, but go mid-week; at weekends you get all the tour buses and it's manic. There is a stellplatz but if you've got mobility problems you may need to use the U-bahn. It's possible to pre-book the stellplatz.
