Europa Jazz

The Europa Jazz Festival took place in Le Mans and across several towns in the Sarthe and Pays de la Loire regions, with its spring highlight at the Abbaye Royale de l'Épau. Founded in 1980 as Le Mans Jazz Festival and renamed in 1985, it offered around a hundred jazz concerts across some sixty venues. The organizing association went into judicial liquidation in 2023, with the last edition held in 2022.
