Free for AF DuPage members
Sylvie Vanhoozer,
Professeure de français retraitée, expliquera l’histoire fascinante des santons à travers les siècles, depuis les pièces de mystère, en passant par les vieux noëls, et même les horreurs et le chaos de la Révolution française. Elle racontera pourquoi ces petites figurines d’argile, si anachroniques, perdurent à notre époque moderne, non seulement dans les crèches de Noël, mais bel et bien dans la culture locale : le patrimoine de Provence.
To register, send your first RSVP to the programmes@AFnorthshore.org with "DuPage" in the subject line.
