Every year, France celebrates the summer solstice<\/strong> with a nation-wide block party that goes until the wee hours and features free music, delicious food and drinks on practically every corner. It\u2019s called the F\u00eate de la Musique<\/strong> – and New York Habitat wants to help you have a front-row seat to the action.<\/p>\n

F\u00eate de la Musique features music of every possible variety<\/strong>.\u00a0 From huge music venues to caf\u00e9s to parks, squares and street corners, you\u2019ll find live performances of jazz, rock, reggae, classical, swing, folk – you name it, someone\u2019s playing it.\u00a0 And DJs get into the spirit of the festival as well, lining up to spin the night away using their best samples and most cutting-edge techniques. There are organized events, spontaneous jam sessions and even music school recitals filling out the bill.<\/p>\n

But, the F\u00eate de la Musique is not only limited to the larger cities – or even the mid-size towns. If the place has a name and a postal code, anyone can come and play music, for free, on the 21st of June.\u00a0 Tiny hamlets are transformed into open-air music halls; normally busy streets in Paris, Lyon and Nice\u00a0are closed to allow the bands to set up and enjoy the crowds. Have a look at our travel tips about Paris<\/a> or attractions in Nice<\/a> to make the most our of your trip.<\/p>\n
