MUSÉE DU PATRIMOINE JEAN-ARISTIDE RUDEL

Museum tracing the history of Palavas

Palavas has many colorful characters, local figures unavoidable The Stork, the Calimar ... The city has asked Jean-Louis Delorme to create a "santonade" (small clay figurines) specific to the fishing village

Two types of scenes are proposed, a life-size series (and these are the real characters that have been molded!) and scenes of life in Palavas with santons. We see between sand and water, in a decoration of nets of wooden huts washed out by the sun. The pond is like a garden: people live around it, always with their feet in the water, under the gaze of the "gabians" and the laughter of the gulls. Whole families live to the rhythm of the comings and goings of the "pointus". The train arriving at Palavas-les-Flots station. The great parade of jousts is not forgotten. The fishermen's huts and the environment of the Ballestras Redoubt are also staged

Enjoy your visit!
