Product History

The gardian (a word of Provençal origin) is the guardian of a Camargue herd, namely a herd of bulls or horses raised in semi-freedom and belonging to a manadier (breeder). In the rural world of 19th century France, the gardian was none other than a mounted drover and dressed like the peasants of the time.
Before the First World War there was no specific gardian costume.
It was the Marquis Folco de Baroncelli-Javon (known as Lou Marquès), founder of the Nacioun gardiano in 1904, who codified the current gardiane outfit at the request of Frédéric Mistral. In order to give more unity and allure to the choupo (group of gardians in the Provençal language) during gardiane festivals, he imposed the velvet jacket, the moleskin trousers (moleskin), the brightly colored shirt with Indian patterns and the Valergues hat.
