WELCOME ON MY WEBSITE...
and
in my handcrafts workshop settled in Champtercier, a small village of
Provence, near to Digne-les-Bains.I'm glad to welcome you all the year to make you discover the traditions of Provence through these little persons called "santons".
More than 30 years that I sculpt in the clay... I would be pleased to talk to you about my job, santons, Christmas or the customs of Provence. If you call me, I can move everywhere in the world to set up a showcase or a lecture.
Of course, you can find what you want in my shop, or by this website, to make a traditional Christmas creche like we do in Provence... since a long time ago.
But more than this, I hope to make you enjoy my country. Take a look to the santons : they will tell you some simple, authentic and beautiful stories from a life in Provence. HAVE A NICE VISIT !
