Santons - miniatures showing life in the area....

Santons..........
These are "miniatures" which portray life in the area, all hand carved and made, enormously expensive!

They are always trotted out for the Christmas
period - and a "creche" using the local traditions and customs is prepared........together with the normal Christmas creche ones.

If it wasn't for their price, I'd starta collection!
 Because - they are truly magnificent.........

 Ain't they....? These creations are unique to the South of France.....
The one above only costs around 400 euros  (circa $480)  ..........dirt cheap......!
