Foire aux santons et aux crèches de Marseille (Santons and cribs fair)

A veritable showcase for the skills of santon craftsmen, this event was born shortly after the French Revolution and has managed to generate a real popular fervor and defy the passage of time without ever taking on a single wrinkle. Marseilles has become the capital of santon and created its first fair over two centuries ago.

As such, it's the oldest santon fair in Provence, a tradition handed down from generation to generation, and one that delights young and old alike every year-end!...
