Provence Prestige is a large, festive and very-popular event heralding the start of the holiday season in Provence; this year it's November 22 to 26. In two large halls of the Palais des Congrès in Arles, 150 vendors will be selling Christmas decor, holiday foods (yes, they often give samples), books, furniture, gifts, clothing, jewelry, tableware and more. Much of it is handmade and virtually all of it is local. Prices are 6€ (adults), 3€ (age 12 to 18) and free for kids under 12. (If you're in Provence, the November issue of Farandole, which you can pick up at most tourist offices, has a coupon in it good for two free tickets.) Your ticket also gives you discounted admission to the Musée Départemental de l’Arles Antique (the ''big blue museum'') and to the Musée Réattu
during the five days of Provence Prestige. For all the info and a list of exhibitors, click here or find them on Facebook here.
Meanwhile the 2nd annual springtime Provence Prestige salon will happen at the Centre Expo Congrès in Mandelieu-La Napoule, from February 14 to 17, 2103, during the Fete du Mimosa. There the focus is also on the local and handmade--housewares, decor, food, jewelry, etc.--but without the holiday slant (duh!). That web page is here, while a list of exhibitors is here.
