concerts in the heart of the medieval city

The Carcassonne Festival is one of the flagship events of the summer, offering an exceptional scene in the heart of the famous medieval city. Spectators will be able to applaud internationally renowned artists such as Pink Martini… But also Michel Jonasz, Juliette, Status Quo, Hervé and Mosimann. Among the emblematic places of the festival, the Théâtre Jean-Deschamps, described by Pascal Dupont, the director of the festival, as “one of the most beautiful theaters in Carcassonne. There are 3000 seats, a magical, magnificent place, recognized by all and adored by artists.» Seats for headliners are filling up quickly, so don’t wait to reserve yours.

Finally, for those who prefer a calmer atmosphere, go to the west of Lyon, to Arbresle, where the tourist office offers a nostalgic exhibition on the old advertising paintings which lined the National Routes 7 and 89 in the 1960s. These murals, now gone, still have many stories to tell.
