La Petite Provence du Paradou - Artists at work by Beausoleil
La Petite Provence du Paradou is a miniature village populated by nearly 400 santons, the result of the work of the best santon makers in France. It is a truly fun museum that seems to be based on a prophecy by Nostradamus that the people of Paradou would preserve the life of Provence as it was then, and they have done an admirable job. There are several sections and all are identified. Life in Old Provence has been created with models of buildings, tools, some working, and the tiny, well-dressed and painted clay figures called Santons. Some moved such as a man turning wood on a lathe, an organ grinder, a woman ironing clothes and dancers at a wedding by the church. There are more than 400 figures involved in cutting lavender, tending sheep, carding wool, etc. There was a movie all in French but the exhibit cards have English on them.
