Jean Pierre Eysséric presents his large crib for the calendales organized by the Parlaren Mountèu association.
For the past 14 years, he has been creating a 21m² crib and his own decorations. Nearly 250 santons, 300 sheep and as many other animals make up this beautiful creation.
A fine nod to our Provencal heritage and culture, with rural scenes of lavender fields, hayfields, vineyards and picturesque hamlets. Jean Pierre has a knack for concocting something new every year. To delight you, it will take the volunteers of the Parlaren Mountèu association 7 days to bring this fine tradition to life. In addition to the Crèche Provençale, a large exhibition of Mr. Bens Patrick's collection of lantern santons, the 13 desserts and santon workshops (by reservation only) will take place on December 4, 11 and 18. To make your own santon, reserve your place with Jean-Pierre Eysséric on 06 18 36 69 54. If you can't reach him, leave a message and he'll get back to you.
