Lucéram, the village of 500 mangers
Have you already heard of Lucéram, this small village in the Nice hinterland , Lucéram is especially renowned for hosting the largest number of crèches at Christmas time. It's everywhere. In the streets, cellars, barns, on window sills, and even in the communal bread oven. They have been keeping this village alive for almost 500 years during the month of December. Come, we’ll take you to experience a little Christmas magic!
It’s been a ritual for 25 years now. At Christmas time, thousands of small clay figures appear throughout the village. Shepherds, water carriers, lumberjacks, farmers, millers and bakers are busy in their miniature Provençal villages. And tens of thousands of visitors make their way to Lucéram to visit them.
It is around Sainte-Barbe, at the beginning of December, that hundreds of small villages and their figurines take place in the village. This highly anticipated event in the region is organized by members of the “Association Maison de Pays de Lucéram et du Haut Paillon” and the inhabitants of the village.
The Lucéram mangers are an unmissable event in the region.
It all started at Christmas 1996, when Christiane Ricord, president of the Maison de Pays, decided to install a giant nativity scene in the Saint Pierre chapel. This Provençal nativity scene is very special because it reproduces the village very precisely and includes around a hundred figurines. Following an article in the local newspaper, thousands of visitors come to Lucéram to see this crèche.
The following year, residents followed suit and created their own nativity scenes in front of their homes. The ritual was launched and the first “crèche circuit” was inaugurated in 1998. The phenomenon is growing more and more. From 33 nurseries at the start, we increased to 500 around twenty years later. And there's something for everyone. The largest measures more than 10 m long!
But the village has other tricks up its sleeve. It also has a typically Nice charm that is appreciable in all seasons.
Stroll through the village, and lose yourself in the network of staircase streets along which you discover beautiful restored residences. They were built in the gray stone of the country, made to withstand the ravages of time.
This small medieval town still has a small heritage which bears witness to its prosperous past. Not much remains of its old castle. Just a few ruins and a crenellated tower pierced with archers dating from the 12th and 13th centuries. On the other hand, you can visit the Saintes-Marguerite-et-Rosalie church (built in 1487 and remodeled in 1763) and its altarpiece by Louis Bréa dating from 1510.
Dear friend,
May the coming year be full of beautiful moments, meet lots of wonderful people and have adventures that fill your heart with joy. To have love, friendship and support from loved ones.
I wish you a New Year full of optimism, success and unforgettable memories. May all your wishes come true, and may every day bring you reasons to smile. Be surrounded by positive energy and feel the warmth of friendship wherever you are.
Happy new year and let's have a wonderful year !
Dearfully,
Sebastian
