In a previous blog post I introduced the virtues of holidaying in Provence off-season, taking the example of the Jazz scene to show how active the region is all year round. Today we will take a look at the Christmas period in Provence. It is a little known fact to most visitors of sunny Provence that this region has a rich Christmas tradition which makes for a great cultural and culinary experience in the South of France. But Christmas is a special period for everyone so why should you leave your home to spend it abroad?
So many good reasons to celebrate Christmas in Provence! 🙂 Hopefully one day we will get to do this. I would LOVE it! 🙂
Yes France has a rich regional heritage and though Alsace is more famous for its festive season, Provence has a very rich christmas tradition.It is very important to people here to celebrate Christmas the Provençal way.
