Santons and Christmas traditions along the canals of Provence Following the footsteps of fortresses and authentic villages
Rich in symbols, emotions, and sensations, Christmas traditions in Provence bring meaning and color to the holiday. From Avignon to Aigues-Mortes, let yourself be enchanted by the magic of provincial Christmas markets. The Palace of the Popes in Avignon, an imposing Gothic fortress and a symbol of religious power in the 14th century; Les Baux-de-Provence, whose citadel overlooks natural sites of extraordinary beauty, and its santons museum with its traditional Provenal nativity scene; or Aigues-Mortes, where you can taste fougasse, a treat once reserved for the Christmas season.
