La foire aux Santons

In Aix there was a fair of Santons – little nativity figurines.

There were all types of figures – from the three kings:

Les trois rois

To some owls and turkeys:

Des hiboux et des dindes
With Cezanne keeping a watchful eye on things

And of course some flamingos.

Des flamants roses

And a whole lot more.

Figurines were about €7-20. From observing some of the customers I think people add to their crib scene every year – un chien here and un chameau there.
