Bouche à Oreille

Organised by the Jazz Maine association at the Pointe de Bouchemaine, where the Maine river meets the Loire, the Bouche à Oreille festival fills the Pentecost weekend with jazz concerts in private gardens and at the Art Image venue, along with jam sessions. More than two thirds of the concerts are free, in keeping with the festival's spirit of accessibility and discovery. The programme also opens up to crossover sounds such as afrobeat, blues funk and hip hop, bringing together local and international musicians.
