Music Festival

The 21st of June each year is La Fête de la Musique - the streets, parks, and cafés are full of different types of music!

This year, we headed to centre-ville, aiming for 7pm. As we walked along, we heard (far in advance) this traveling percussion group

We stopped off for some Vietnamese take-out, and continued to the town hall plaza - the orchestra was tuning up while we had our dinner :-)

The forecast was for rain, and it was not wrong! The orchestra made it all the way to their final song before they had to stop, and people dashed for the cover of the trees.

We decided to cut our evening short, and meandered back to the car, hearing bits and pieces of all kinds of music.

Then we saw this!

We got home in time for the final moments of our sunset :-)
