These clay figurines, the iconic symbols of Provence, as well as the décor they are set in, are all reminiscent of the stories and tales of Alphonse Daudet and Marcel Pagnol. Each santon, based upon characters from these authors' books, is remarkably lifelike.

It has taken France's very best santonniers (santon makers) over 8,000 working hours to reproduce the 32 ancient buildings in fine detail (as an example, the 50,000 clay tiles are all handcrafted individually). La Petite Provence du Paradou is a creation by Mike & Marithé Charvin, in collaboration with Autrefois la France (based in 74320 Sevrier) and a number of France's best santonniers. |
