In Provençal the diminutive of saint is santoun; and it is as santouns that all the personages of the crèche including the whole of the purely human and animal contingent, and even the knife-grinding devil are known. For two centuries or more the making of clay santouns has been a notable industry in Marseille.
The figures sell for the merest trifle, the cheapest for one or two sous, yet the Santoun Fair held annually in December in booths set up in the Cour-du-Chapitre and in the Allée-des-Capucins is of a real commercial importance; and is also what with the oddly whimsical nature of its merchandise, and the vast enjoyment of the children under parental or grand-parental convoy who are its patrons the very gayest sight in that city of which gayety is the dominant characteristic the whole year round.
