Celebrating the 'Fete de la Musique'

Over the last couple of days France has been celebrating their 'Fete de la Musique' and here in the Loire Valley was no exception. I was delighted to be involved in a great night in Le Grand-Pressigny here in Southern Touraine...and there is still more to come.

Fête de la Musique 2018

Plenty of opportunities to take advantage of the music on offer during this year's Fête de la Musique. We are blessed here in our part of Touraine with a great bunch of musicians keeping music 'live'. So it is important to get out and support them!
