Christian Berkesse, Mayor of La Colle sur Loup, presents the 2011 Summer Festival of his municipality: “7 years already and the age of reason! Our summer festival is celebrating its age of reason this year… 7 years! And just as many moments of relaxation, conviviality, and pleasure. This age of reason will not prevent us from being… unreasonable!
A beautiful summer is announcing itself at La Colle-sur-Loup, come join us…!”
Philippe Villa, programming manager:
“On the menu of this summer aperitif: no fewer than 18 concerts that will bring together more than 300 people every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for 5 weeks. Like in previous years, Place de Gaulle will offer ideal acoustics and a privileged proximity with the musicians…”
