Christmas village

" A crib like a journey, with its scenes, characters and santons that come to life... All created with passion and artistic accuracy faithful to the period, by a collector who has worked in several craft trades, and his mother. "

A crib, delicate scenes, 350 characters and santons come to life: alongside the animals, everything is homemade by collector Jean-Luc Weber, who has worked in several craft trades, and his mother Micheline Dillenschneider. It takes 350 hours to assemble this universe, with Jean-Luc responsible for the structures and Micheline for the interior decorations and small objects. In the beginning, Jean-Luc's grandfather created a crib featuring Herod's temple overlooking Jerusalem. Much later came Jean-Luc's sheepfold and sawmill. Workshops, stores, markets and other scenes of daily life were added to the first sets....all are busy, like an ode to craftsmanship and ancestral gestures. The desert is also on display, with its caravans of proud camels, Bedouin tents with welcoming carpets, and decorated elephants... Like a fresco inviting you on a journey, come and contemplate - free of charge - this Christmas village from December 1 to 23, from 5pm to 8pm. Outside this Advent period, from November 23 to 30 and from December 27 to January 15, it is possible to make an appointment with Micheline Dillenschneider on 06 78 97 96 69 or by e-mail Micheline67330@hotmail.fr.
