LA NUIT DU PETIT SAINT JEAN
Go there and contact
This Enclave des Papes capital's tradition dates back to 1504, which means that the inhabitants are attached to it! Every June 23, at nightfall, the city's historic center jumps into its past, from the Notre-Dame de Nazareth church to Simiane Castle. Actors in medieval costumes, halberdiers, tambourines, commanders of arms... all crowd into the procession following little Saint John, dressed in a sheepskin with his cross and banner. Pontifical trumpets will then rise to warn the audience of the arrival of the procession at Simiane Castle. Le petit saint-Jean then receives from the hands of his predecessor, the powers that will be conferred on him for one year. Aged from 3 to 5 years at most, the young boy will be "ruled" over the commune all year long.
