Christmas Magic until January 5
Immerse yourself in the holiday magic with a program packed with activities!
For the end-of-year holidays, the Ville has focused on provençal traditions and fun activities, for all audiences, from the youngest to seniors. In short, memorable moments for the Valettois, young and old, times of sharing and fun, and animations throughout December! The program includes creative workshops (decorations, greeting cards, and gourmet treats for all ages), enchanted shows (magic, clowns, and unforgettable tales at the Espace Pierre Bel and the théâtre Marélios), and friendly gatherings (with the traditional provençal Gros Souper and folk dances by the Respelido Valetenco). But also decorations and markets since you can admire the Christmas trees decorated by children and enjoy the santon fair at the salle Le Lavoir! Additionally, there will be a children's trail on the place Stefanini and fun activities before the arrival of Père Noël on December 23 on the place Jean-Jaurès, and the Baleti on December 31 at the salle Charles-Couros to end the year in style. This program was designed by the Ville in partnership with dedicated local actors: Association des Professionnels du Cœur de Ville (APCV), Comité Animation Coupiane (CAC), and La Respelido Valetenco.
