Events calendar Les Baux-De-Provence

At the midnight mass in Saint Vincent church, the inhabitants of Les Baux-de-Provence return to this very ancient ceremony and animated the living crèche. The pastrage pays tribute to the shepherds. This very ancient pastoral custom corresponds to the period of lambing. The boss of the pastres wearing his cape of bure, a enrubanné hat and holding his pilgrim's stick, is surrounded by other shepherds, children and girls who are present, including a small pastre holding the last born lamb. The procession is illuminated by light lights passing through the village. All the pastres then go into procession to the altar, to the sound of drums and galoubets, to bring the lamb in offering the priest in offering the priest and paying homage to the child Jesus.

Post tenebras lux is a Calvinist Latin inscription, found on the entablature of a cross-window, the only vestige of the former large residence that occupied this place and which means light after darkness. It is now a pretty open-air square used for photo exhibitions to showcase local heritage. Farmers' paths, know-how, fauna and flora... the themes allow creators to express their talent. And there is no shortage of them. Some stone benches make it almost a place for meditation.
