Fête de la Musique in Vence
A few notes are all it takes for the entire village to transform into musical stages where jazz, rock, classical, or bossa notes resonate. Music spreads through every corner
of the village, so don’t be surprised if around a square,
a marching band accompanies you along the streets with the lively
rhythm of New Orleans jazz.
During your stroll, you might
sit in the shade of the large fountain where a clarinet quartet
will invite you to rediscover Mozart and Gershwin.
Finally, your steps will probably lead you to the pétanque
square where the festivities are in full swing. That is where the band
Carnaby Street will ignite the night in St. Paul by
performing the great hits of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
An electrifying evening 100% British rock!
