CHRISTMAS TIME : 1 or 2 nights, the festive Christmas meal (fête calendale) is the most important event in the Provençal calendar.
Like most French towns and cities, Aix has a bustling Christmas market that features all the handcrafted goods and local tidbits that one typically finds in Christmas markets. And during the month of December you’ll find a unique crèche (Nativity Scene) composed of small hand-painted terracotta figurines, called santons (“little saints”). The Provencal crèche stands apart from most nativity scenes in that not only does it have the usual biblical figures but also includes figures from Provençal village life.
The most interesting aspect of Christmas in Aix, however, is the way the locals observe the holiday. On Christmas Eve, Provence natives traditionally eat a large dinner called Le Gros Souper (“the big supper”), which consists of seven meat-free courses . Afterwards, they attend midnight mass at their local church, only to return home to continue eating for another hour or two. This post-mass meal is known as Les Treize Desserts, which symbolizes Christ and his twelve apostles. The 13 desserts fall into three categories: dried fruits and nuts, fresh fruits, and sweets. There is a Marché des Treize Desserts at which you can buy all the traditional goodies for this special meal.
END OF YEAR PARTY: 1 or 2 nights and festive meals.
