Sitting and Crunching Bread on barrel

Even in miniature, Provence keeps its taste for the good things in life. Our 2 cm Croque-Pain sits on a barrel, loaf of bread in hand, ready to share a snack with his companion Taste-Vin. Together, they tell an everyday story: the midday break, when you stop to eat and chat.

This duo joined our collection in 2014, marking the 80th anniversary of the workshop founded in Aix-en-Provence by Jean-Baptiste Fouque. The theme chosen that year was conviviality, embodied by the Provençal tradition of the casse-croûte: bread, Rove cheese and a bottle of "cuvée 1934."

The 2 cm collection lets you create an entire Nativity scene on a shelf, in a niche or under a glass dome. Making such a small piece demands great precision: the santon is molded in clay, trimmed and smoothed by hand, fired at 960 °C, then painted with a very fine brush, without simplifying anything.

Discover our miniatures in our shop on cours Gambetta or at our exhibitions. They are wrapped one by one in paper and then bubble wrap, and ship within 2 to 3 business days.
