Christmas in Arles<\/strong> is marked by three major events.
The first is the International Santons Salon of<\/strong> Arles, which takes place from mid-November to mid-January.
This event, dedicated to the artisans of the colorful Proven\u00e7al nativity figurines, the “Santonniers<\/strong>,” takes place in the cloister of the Saint-Trophime<\/strong> church. It is the largest exhibition in all of Europe and enjoys an excellent reputation. <\/p>\n

The second event concerns the Dr\u00f4les de No\u00ebls<\/strong>. Shows dedicated to adults and children with circus, puppets, songs, magic, musical games, and stories. Fifty free performances over the four days of the festival: circus shows, puppets, songs, magic, musical games and stories. <\/p>\n

Finally, there are the famous Calend’Arles<\/strong>. Throughout December, the city of Arles, its villages and hamlets will shine under beautiful illuminations, and families can enjoy a program of shows, exhibitions and events, combining Proven\u00e7al traditions and contemporary creations. <\/p>\n
