The Stoxx Europe 600 Index edged up 0.2%, with major markets such as Germany closed and others, including London and Paris, set to close early.
France's CAC 40 outperformed as Prime Minister François Bayrou vowed to cut the country's budget deficit to nearly 5%. Technology stocks led gains, supported by a strong session for U.S. tech stocks on Monday.
Pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk also boosted the index, jumping 5.7% after recovering from last week's selloff linked to disappointing trial results for its weight-loss drug, CagriSema.
Despite the gains, European stocks underperformed the U.S. market, weighed down by weak economic growth and political uncertainty in France and Germany. The Stoxx 600 is down more than 4% since hitting a high in September, heading for its biggest quarterly loss in two years.
