Alsatian woman

The Provençal Nativity scene was born to portray the world: the village people, their trades, and sometimes figures from elsewhere. Our tribute series to the regions of France carries on this tradition by inviting other lands. The Alsatian Woman represents a region where Christmas holds a special place, with its illuminated markets and Advent decorations.

At 9 cm, the most widespread size for family Nativity scenes, her costume gains in legibility and gives our painters real room for expression. Placed beside the Alsatian Man, she creates a little scene from eastern France; on her own, she makes an original gift for an Alsatian friend.

Our family workshop, based in Aix-en-Provence since 1934 and at 65 cours Gambetta since 1957, makes every santon the same way: regional clay cast, parts assembled with slip, slow drying, gradual firing, then matte paint applied by hand.

You can discover her on site or at our exhibitions. For shipping, the Alsatian Woman is individually packed (paper, then bubble wrap) and your order ships within 2 to 3 business days.
