Christmas in the Grasse region

Christmas events and markets organised by the communes of the Pays de Grasse.

42nd Foire aux Santons

The Mouans-Sartoux Santon Fair is back for its 42ᵉ edition, a not-to-be-missed event and the oldest in the department. Every year, it attracts enthusiasts, families and the curious who come to admire the meticulous work of 23 of the most renowned santon makers.

Thousands of pieces are on display, from tiny 2 cm figurines to large 40 cm santons. You’ll find traditional characters, scenes from everyday life and animals, as well as everything you need to bring a unique nativity scene to life: accessories, decorations, houses from the South of France, figurines to paint and books dedicated to the world of santons.

The warm atmosphere is perfect for strolling around, chatting with the craftsmen and letting yourself be inspired by the finesse of their skills. It’s the perfect opportunity to add to your collection, or to give as a gift a charming piece of handcrafted art.

Practical information
– Open every day from 2pm to 6pm
– Free admission
– Organised by: Centre Culturel des Cèdres

A great way to spend the season, with family or friends.
