Christmas traditions in France - Provence

Rich in symbols, marked in beliefs and omens, the Christmas traditions are well-anchored in the hearts of the Provençal people, and Christmases in Provence have their own particularities.

Moments of sharing and reunions with family and friends, it is a succession of parties, rites and customs that punctuate the days : santons fairs, Christmas markets, concerts and pastorals, nativity scenes and santons are all on the agenda.
