Festi'Vence

Every year in late June, Festi'Vence offers several days of free open-air concerts across the historic heart of Vence, in the Alpes-Maritimes. Organised by Syrinx Concerts, it takes over emblematic sites such as the Villa Le Rêve where Matisse once lived, the Grand-Jardin square and the cathedral, with a programme spanning classical music, jazz, chanson and world music. With most concerts free to attend, it draws a broad audience into the old town's squares and streets.
