21st JUNE, A DATE FOR YOUR FRENCH DIARY

Whilst not very well known it's worth looking out for. If you happen to be in France at this time, look out for 'Fête de la Musique'. It is a nation wide event in medium to large towns where for one evening various stages are erected around town and there follows an evening of varied music, all free. There was even a stage on the quayside of the port plaisance. The Fête usually takes place on 21st of June.

Margaret outside Chateau des Rohan in Saverne accompanied with a bit of rock.

We stayed in Saverne for a couple of extra days for the festival, it was worth it. There were 8 stages covering a range of music genre from rock to jazz to blues to coral chant to pop to salsa. All good quality, all very different and great fun. We had our own mini-Glasto!!

A very small courtyard stage at Place Monet, focusing on 'Chansons Françaises'.
