FAMILY CRÈCHES

 


The original Cre’ches in Provence, date back to the 17th century when the few bas-reliefs evolved into carved wooden figures.
They were mainly restricted to aristocratic and middle-class homes before the family crèches became even more widespread and some of them contained up to 40 different characters.
Even before decorated Christmas trees became the custom, the crèches already had pride of place in French people's homes.
