Carrefour de la Chanson

Founded in 1990 as the Rencontres régionales de la chanson française before taking its current name in 1992, the Carrefour de la Chanson is held at the Maison de la Culture in Clermont-Ferrand. It is built around a selection process in which a jury of performing arts professionals reviews applications submitted from across France, giving chosen artists a stage and a chance to meet the audience.
