Description

Explore the rich Calendale traditions with Serge Vota during the Entretiens du Café Perché. A talk exploring the symbols, tales and customs that embody the soul of Provençal Christmas, from past to present.
Descriptif détaillé As part of the “Les Entretiens du Café Perché” lecture series, Serge Vota, president of the association, invites you to a cultural and historical journey into the heart of Christmas in Provence. A pivotal moment in the Provençal calendar, the “Calendale” season holds an intangible cultural heritage of vibrant richness. From the creation of the nativity scene and the traditional santon figurines to the ritual of the “gros souper” (great Christmas Eve supper) and the thirteen desserts, along with traditional evening gatherings and pastorales, this lecture delves into the roots and imagination of our region. Through stories, historical milestones and living heritage, this talk highlights how these centuries-old customs have evolved to their modern-day expressions. A warm, friendly gathering to rediscover the spirit, meaning and art of living of a Provençal Christmas.
