It's summer! And finally nice weather in Paris. Ça tombe bien because tonight is the Fête de la Musique, an afternoon and evening of free music all over France and even Europe, but especially in our capitale.
Here is the whole program for Paris, listed by arrondissement. There really is an astonishing variety, from a choir of parents d'élèves to "hairy rock" (le rock poilu), Bangladeshi song, hip hop, French gospel, Purcell and Mozart, and the band of the Garde Républicaine. It might be just a fun night to wander around Paris. The metro and buses will be running all nighte. For 2 € 50 you can use a single ticket between this afternoon at 17h and tomorrow morning at 7h-- not bad, hein?
It's the kind of thing the French do better than anyone else in the world.
