CHRISTMAS MAGIC in PROVENCE FRANCE | Provençal Traditions & Markets

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ย. 2024
- Christmas has arrived in Aix-en-Provence! Each year there is a special tradition that takes place. People dress in the traditional Provençal clothing for the occasion, they sing, dance and play music and attend the blessing of the Santons. I also share the beautiful Christmas Market that lines up along Cours Mirabeau.

There is a small error in the translation. At 1:53 it’s supposed to say "The chicken thief will respect the chickens…." So sorry didn’t have time to change it as my laptop is old and is very very slow at uploading and would have taken me another day to fix the problem😂
Magnifiques costumes provençaux, chants et danses traditionnels, Noël en Provence est magnifique.
Oui, j’adore les costumes et aussi les santons💕
So nice seeing the Christmas traditions in a small french town!!!
Thanks Rocco 🤍
We went through the Christmas Markets in Austria last year and this reminds me of that time. Such beautiful festive markets. 🎄🍁🎅🎊 Merry Christmas!!
Oh wow, I would love to experience Christmas there one year 😍 I’m sure it was beautiful, Merry Christmas!
I love all the close up on people's faces! I can almost feel and see the Christmas spirit through them!❤
It was so fun to be a part of the festivities
This was lovely Sam! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Marloes, it was lovely to witness.
Ahhh,very special,Sam 😊. So interesting to see the locals and their special outfits and traditions. I can feel how proud they are. Must have been special for you too to warch,despite maybe its not your first time. But one never get bored with such moments I believe. I trust the Christmas market/s are big like everywhere and its so festive around. Those candles look great. What did you choose for yourself if you don't mind sharing? Ohh,I hope tou go out again and seriously browsing around the markets and show us even more 😇😁 It would be so great. Grab some food next time please if veg.options of course. So curious what are they offering like street Christmas food. Thank you so much for this video. Show your pretty face next time 🤗👍🌲
It was very special, it was my first time actually seeing the blessing of the Santons so I was so glad I got to bring you all along with me. I ended up getting a candle without scent as Sophia, my cat is very sensitive to smells so she is actually currently making it for me and I’ll be picking it up this week🙌🏽 very happy to bring something cozy into my home. I do need to try some goodies at the Christmas Market so maybe I’ll take you guys along with me next week as well! ☺️ Hope you are having a lovely Sunday!
@@SamFournier really,your first time? Well that's great that you manage to catch them. So nice. As for the candle,it make sense yes. Understandable. They looked very arty and Im sure you will end up going home with a great piece. Candles are great and cozy indeed. And now around festive times,what's better than having a beautiful candle on? Yes,it will be great to bring us again with you around the markets streets. And eat what they offer as veg.options lol and show us. Omg,I'm such a 🐷🤭😅. Hope Sophia is getting much better,in which I'm actually sure knowing your levels of care and love. Can't wait for your next video wandering around the beautuful, Aix festive streets. 🤍
@@smiley9987 someone messaged me that there is a vegan option at the market so I’ll be sure to try it on camera for you😉 Sophia is doing better but still needs more care, thank you for thinking about her🤍
@@SamFournier Can't wait 😋. You are welcome 🤗
I loved this! So beautiful and so wonderful to hear the story of the santones (spelling?). What a great celebration
It was so fun to witness this tradition! I knew you would love the Santons!

Beautiful as always! Such quaint and lovely traditions in Provence! Happy Holidays Sam! ❤
Thank you Ingrid 🩵 Happy Holidays to you too!
That's so cute, I thought "the chicken's will respect the chickens" that is so nice! Now I get it it's the chicken thieves respecting chickens, that makes more sense now.🙂I just finished watching Paul's Japan vid, I think he's missing you as much as you miss him.❣
😂 I noticed it too late to change it, Paul has the fast computer so I wasn’t about to go back and fix it as it would’ve taken forever! Glad you saw my comment😂 I just finished watching his video and I loved it, the foliage was stunning. Sophia and I can’t wait till he returns.
I love your Christmas Vlogs!! You both seem so happy and i can feel the Christmas Spirit through the video. Have a VERY MERRY Christmas!!
Aww thank you Rocco! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas! Miss you my dear friend.
Wonderful x im off to Christmas market in Birmingham very soon i can almost smell it 😊🎄🏴x
Oooh, enjoy! I’m sure there are so many goodies to see 😍
Wow baby. What a great video. You did such a good job filming and editing this one ❤
Thanks my love
Lovely❤
Thanks Ana!
Which kind of Christmas is REALLY your favorite ? In Provence or in California ?
I love the Christmas Markets and the different traditions here but I prefer Christmas in California because my family is there and I really miss my family traditions and being with my loved ones during the holidays. I hope you have a lovely Christmas Season 🎄
What can a vegan eat at the markets? The chestnuts only.
Sadly there isn’t enough demand yet here in France but it’s coming, I’m seeing more and more vegan things pop up. I heard the churros are vegan but it’s always safe to ask before hand. Luckily in Aix I have a couple vegan dessert options at a couple of different places.
C'est désagréable les commentaires sont toujours en anglais la provence est Française.
Je suis une Américaine vivant en Provence et j’aime partager ce beau pays avec les anglophones.😊
