21 juin 2011 - Fête de la Musique

MARDI
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.
