Summary

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 Provençal nativity scene; or Aigues-Mortes, where you can taste fougasse, a treat once reserved for the Christmas season.
