MECHANICAL CRIB
from 19 December to 16 January
This big mechanical crib covers a surface of about 80 square metres and it’s composed of more than 40 groups of statues. Great care was taken of the reconstruction of everyday life and the particular setting with statues moving in the alternating of night and day and of different weathers. It is 30 years that the Association “Crib friends” spends several months designing and making the mechanisms, statues and setting of this mechanical crib, one of the most original and beautiful cribs of the region.
It covers a surface of about 80 square metres and is composed of more than 40 groups of figures, each of them is mechanical and has a sound.
Several scenes are proposed: the time leading up to Christmas, the Annunciation, Joseph’s dream, looking for an accomodation in Bethlem, the Nativity, the presentation of Jesus at the temple and Kings’ adoration.
Opening hours: public holidays from 2.30 to 7 pm, weekdays from 24 December to 8 January from 2.30 to 5.30 pm.
