Gròs Santoun is an illustrated book about rural Provence. Like a small intimate encyclopedia of daily life, Bettina Henni has collected, through her drawings, objects and figures related to popular traditions, nature, craftsmanship, and rural life. Each object, drawn on a base, is accompanied by its name in Provençal: a bit like a catalogue of santons! (Christmas statuettes) A catalogue of objects which makes the reader dive into the imagination of Provence - home of artisans, pickers, farmers, and more.
