As we continue our look at summer events in the South of France<\/a>, we\u2019re going to focus on two notable Jazz festivals this week. The cities of Nice<\/a> and Avignon<\/a> each play host to their own excellent jazz music festivals. <\/strong>Luckily, they do not overlap but instead are held one right after the other. And with top-rate vacation rentals from New York Habitat, it couldn\u2019t be easier to attend them both!<\/p>\n

\n\t\"South<\/a>\n\t

This year, the festival will feature such notable, and international, artists as: Rufus Wainwright, Diana Krall, Leonard Cohen, Pink Martini, and Joan Baez, among others. What could be better than spending your days along the sunny Mediterranean beaches and your night listening to world class music?<\/p>\n

New York Habitat also has some world class accommodations in Nice<\/a><\/strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

After the festival in Nice, leisurely make your way over to Avignon. Le Tremplin Jazz d\u2019Avignon Festival will be held from July 29th to August 2nd of this year.<\/strong> Created in 1992, this festival features jazz combos and includes a juried competition. Though it is a smaller affair than the jazz festival in Nice, Avignon is still able to attract some big names, like award-winning French jazz pianist Baptiste Trotignon. And there is plenty to do, see, and eat in and around Avignon when you\u2019re not enjoying some great music.<\/p>\n

\n\t\"South<\/a>\n\t
