Lonely Planet review for Musée du Santon

One of Provence’s most enduring, and endearing, Christmas traditions are its santons, plaster-moulded, kiln-fired nativity figures, first created by Marseillais artisan Jean-Louis Lagnel (1764–1822). The tiny museum displays a private collection of 18th- and 19th-century santons. At adjoining ateliers, watch the figures being crafted, or buy them at the boutique.
