This was the thirtieth anniversary of la Fête de la Musique, a free music festival that takes place in cities all over France on the summer solstice.
It was a warm evening and the ice cream parlor was quite popular.
Country dancers. Cotton candy.
Place de la Liberté packed.
Orchestra.
Musician sitting on a street corner. I overheard a gentleman telling a friend that this is what la fête de la musique was all about.
