Zone B, Provençal traditions, and Camargue pilgrimage

In Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, winter and spring school holidays follow Zone B (académies of Aix-Marseille and Nice). The region is world-renowned for its Mediterranean lifestyle and major cultural festivals.

At Christmas, Provençal traditions include nativity scenes with handcrafted clay figurines (santons) and the thirteen desserts. In Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the historic May pilgrimage honours Saint Sara in the Camargue.
