Avignon - AIGUES MORTES - ARLES - TARASCON - AVIGNON

Rich in symbols, full of 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 Provence. In Aigues-Mortes, discover the fougasse, a traditional delicacy reserved for the holidays; in Arles, dive into the art of santon makers with the creator’s fair, a tribute to this iconic popular craft. Further on, explore the Château de Tarascon, a majestic fortress on the banks of the Rhône, or the perched village of Les Baux-de-Provence with its santon museum and traditional Provençal nativity scene. Don’t miss the Palais des Papes in Avignon, an imposing Gothic fortress, a witness to the religious power of the 14th century.
