Fête de la Musique

Posted by Ada Chu 4 October 2007

For all you music lovers out there, take advantage of the annual (and national) Fête de la Musique where the streets of France become stages for free, live music.

Whether your interests lie in classical and jazz to hip hop and electronica, there is something for everyone. The city turns into a festive street party, it's loads of fun!
