Paris: One among France´s largest avenue events is again in full drive after two years of Covid disruption — the annual Fete de la Musique returns to cities and cities throughout the nation Tuesday night time, boasting all the pieces from classical to rap.
Musicians have free reign yearly on June 21 in France, taking up bars, avenue corners and rooftops, whereas landmarks from the Eiffel Tower to the outdated port in Marseilles to chateaux within the Loire Valley host their very own occasions.
Since 2018, President Emmanuel Macron has even thrown open the courtyard of the Elysee Palace to the festivities.
This 12 months, which marks the competition´s fortieth anniversary, Ukrainian DJ Xenia will likely be amongst these performing within the Elysee courtyard, the place the president usually greets visiting heads of state.
It stays to be seen whether or not Macron and his spouse Brigitte will likely be within the temper for dancing — as they’ve in earlier years — after disappointing election outcomes for his camp over the weekend.
However many throughout France are little doubt able to have fun after the final two editions of the competition passed off below the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic. (AFP)
