The Arlesienne with the red dress.

The santon l’arlésienne is a fictional character from a literary work.
The character of arlésienne comes from a very short story written by Alphonse Daudet which is originally dated 1866.
It begins with the story of Jan, a country boy who is madly in love with a young girl from the city of Arles…

The adult santons measure around 8 to 9 cm and all the animals and accessories are the same size.
They are just like us, some bigger, some smaller, some fatter, some thinner!
They are therefore compatible with other collections of 8 / 9 cm santons.

All our santons are made by hand in our workshops in Provence, in the traditional way, in clay and painted by hand.
Find our collections of santons and accessories from Provence 4 cm to 5 cm, 7 cm and 8 cm to 9 cm on our website.
