Turn on the radio and you\u2019ll be sure to hear a quartet or two, smooth saxophonists play for change in the Metro and the cover price for the city\u2019s jazz clubs says a thing or two about the value of jazz music here. Starting in early June and running until late July, the Paris Jazz Festival is a celebration of France\u2019s love of jazz music. Each <strong>weekend Parisians gather in the Parc Floral de Paris for a series of performances by famous jazzmen.<\/strong> A New York Habitat <a title=\"Accommodations in the 12th arrondissement of Paris\" href=\"\/paris-apartment\/vacation\/bercy-nation\">accommodation in the 12th arrondissement<\/a> is the best place to stay during the festival\u2013as you know\u2013hotel prices are high come summer and rooms are not easy to come by.<\/p>\n<p>The Parc Floral is one of our favorite Paris concert venues. Contained within the enormous Bois de Vincennes, by the edge of the <a title=\"Travel tips about the 12th arrondissement of Paris\" href=\"\/blog\/category\/paris\/paris-travel-guide\/paris-neighborhoods\/bercy-gare-lyon-nation\/\">12th arrondissement<\/a>, <strong>the Parc Floral de Paris is a vast aggregation of manicured plant life set around a tranquil, manmade lake<\/strong>. Best of all, visitors can literally lay amongst the flowers on small grass pathways that maze through the Versailles-worthy gardens and homemade picnics are encouraged. Even during the jazz festival, concert goers are encouraged to bring along food, wine and a blanket to lounge on. <strong>Concerts take place only on weekends during the festival and an all day entry price is a mere \u20ac5.<\/strong> Crowds are generally family-oriented and low key, don\u2019t expect to see any mosh pits break out. This year\u2019s lineup has yet to be released but past performers have included American guitar great Buddy Guy. While rock music is surely king in France, there are many jazz-inspired young Parisian bands that play at the festival as well.<!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"img alignright size-full wp-image-647\" style='width:300px;'>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/paris-apartment\/vacation\/2323\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/paris-apartment-rental-studio-in-pere-lachaise-pa2323.jpg\" alt=\"Paris Apartment: rental studio in Pere Lachaise (pa-2323) picts\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a>\n\t<div>Paris Apartment: rental studio in Pere Lachaise (pa-2323)<\/div>\n<\/div><strong>Visitors in town for the Jazz festival should consider staying in eastern Paris to cut down on travel time to the Parc Floral de Paris.<\/strong> This <a title=\"Paris Accommodation: 1 bedroom retnal in Bastille, Pere Lachaise - Nation  (Pa-3084)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/paris-apartment\/vacation\/3084\">1-bedroom rental apartment in Bastille, Pere Lachaise-Nation (PA-3084)<\/a> features exposed wood beams running along the ceiling and is tucked in between central Paris and the Bois be Vincennes.
