The cultural sector is very acclaimed in France and especially in the Parisian region… That’s why, different localities around Paris pay many efforts to organize or support cultural festivals, in order to entertain as much as possible the most of you, at any time of the year. Although, summer time may be regarded as the most appropriate period, due to its pleasant weather conditions, for the optimisation of such events (cover photo credit: Alexis Harnichard).<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this article, we are pleased to enunciate you some of them to attend, in magical places. Thus, whatever your musical preferences, we propose you some suggestions, in a combination of tradition and modernity.<\/strong> By AP<\/em><\/p>\n

The first event<\/strong> of its kind in the world, the Salon du Livre rare & des Arts Graphiques<\/strong><\/em><\/a> is an unmissable Parisian<\/strong> cultural event. For this new 2023<\/strong> edition, standing from 22nd<\/strong> until 24th September 2023<\/strong>, in the Grand Palais \u00c9ph\u00e8m\u00e8re<\/strong>, this meeting place<\/strong> for bibliophily<\/strong> and graphic arts<\/strong> enthusiasts, would amaze you during 3 days<\/strong> of discoveries and beautiful literary<\/strong> surprises, but not only.<\/p>\n

This festival of old<\/strong>, and sometimes rare<\/strong>, books<\/strong> is therefore open to everyone, and especially to all budgets<\/strong>, since it is possible to acquire artworks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Indeed, along the alleys<\/strong>, discover a real and vast bookstore<\/strong>, where exceptional pieces<\/strong> rub shoulders with more accessible documents<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, there are 140 booksellers<\/strong> and gallery<\/strong> owners, from all over the World<\/strong>, who are announced and would be there to share their passion<\/strong> and expertise<\/strong> with the visitors, in a friendly<\/strong> and welcoming<\/strong> atmosphere<\/strong><\/em>. At this occasion, thousands of documents<\/strong> (so to say rare<\/strong> or curious<\/strong> editions, prints<\/strong> and drawings<\/strong>, along other pieces<\/strong> from all periods and styles) would be proposed, including some elements<\/strong> from exceptional<\/strong> provenance.<\/p>\n

Year after year, these masterpieces<\/strong> arouse notable interest from more or less informed collectors<\/strong>. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Therefore, you’re invited to navigate through this sort of cabinet of curiosities<\/strong><\/em>, where would get unveiled a series of our common written<\/strong> and graphic<\/strong> heritage (photo credits: SLAM).<\/p>\n

For example, very old vestiges<\/strong> would lead you back to the origins of books<\/strong>, but also great literary<\/strong> classics, sometimes adorned with autographs<\/strong> of famous<\/strong> people, without forgetting some of the most surprising artistic<\/strong> avant-garde <\/em>books<\/strong>, and even the original comic strips<\/strong> or rare <\/strong>editions of illustrated tales<\/strong>, which would surely take you back to childhood<\/strong>, or more deepened souvenirs<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Adding to this, this year, the Jan Michalski Foundation for Writing and Literature<\/strong><\/em> will be the guest of honor<\/strong>, around an exceptional and unique exhibition<\/strong> in France<\/strong>, named \u201cColette. Write, be able to write\u201d<\/strong><\/em>, settled on the occasion of the 150th anniversary<\/strong> of the birth of this engaged novelist<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

This exhibition<\/strong> will bring together no less than 250 precious documents<\/strong> emanating from this illustrious author<\/strong>, starring original editions<\/strong>, photographs<\/strong>, letters<\/strong>, manuscripts<\/strong>, and objects<\/strong>, rarely or never shown to the public<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

First of all, why don’t you enjoy some pop concerts<\/strong> in a beautiful natural landscape<\/strong>, offered by the newly born RTL2 Essonne en Sc\u00e8ne <\/a><\/em><\/strong>festival? Established since June 2019, this musical<\/strong> and green rendez-vous<\/strong><\/em> never stopped to stop to expand since its early days. Born from an original and rich eclectic<\/strong> project, this musical festival<\/strong> is composed of a smart encounter<\/strong> between various melodic<\/strong> influences (photo credits: Alexis Harnichard & Fran\u00e7ois Lauginie).<\/p>\n

If you want to go further about the identity of RTL2 Essonne en Sc\u00e8ne<\/strong><\/em>, you would easily understand that this cultural event<\/strong> was conceived for everyone, confirming in a way the ability of this wide natural<\/strong> territory, located at the borders of Paris<\/strong>, to welcome all kinds of talents<\/strong>. Without forgetting that this festival<\/strong> has the incredible Chamarande<\/strong> Castle<\/strong> as fairy framework…<\/p>\n

Erected in the 17th century, this brilliant domain<\/strong> has succeeded to transmit its architectural<\/strong> grace, since the famous Grand Si\u00e8cle<\/strong><\/em>, pursuing nowadays its artistic<\/strong> philosophy through various events<\/strong>, organized around it. Without forgetting that this Chamarande<\/strong> domain is spread around 98 hectares of nature<\/strong>, open to anyone willing to enjoy some calm and back to basics, without going too far from Paris<\/strong>. Along this park<\/strong>, we can admit that the castle<\/strong> and its orangery<\/strong> have notably become an ideal playground<\/strong> for the expression plastic arts<\/strong>, since 2001.<\/p>\n

That’s why, we invite to register on your diary, those two days of festival<\/strong>, occurring on June 24th and 25th, 2022, where you could experiment an intense festive<\/strong> atmosphere, nested in a countryside<\/strong> setting and talented artists <\/strong>(a couple of them pictured below).<\/p>\n

Thus, regarding the programming, the team from the Francofolies<\/strong><\/em> festival, native from La Rochelle<\/strong>, had been selected to bring its know-how<\/strong> and connections<\/strong>, in order to showcase local<\/strong> but also international<\/strong> scene. <\/p>\n

Indeed, by providing its trademark signature<\/strong>, the Francofolies<\/strong><\/em> offers its intergenerational<\/strong> popularity, and eventually tripling the audience of this young festival<\/strong>, with 16,000 festival-goers<\/strong> in 2021. In this plural place<\/strong>, between nature<\/strong>, contemporary art<\/strong> and music<\/strong>, we already counted in the two previous editions<\/strong>, some famous names of French<\/strong> musical variety were mobilized, such as Calogero<\/strong>, Julien Dor\u00e9<\/strong>, Pr2B<\/strong> and Terrenoire<\/strong>, along emerging artists<\/strong>, including Bandit Bandit<\/strong>, Victor Solf <\/strong>or even La Boum Brute<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Although for this year 2022, happening during two days, between 1st and 2nd September 2023, some say that the two headliners<\/strong> would be the Belgian<\/strong> newcomer Pierre de Maere<\/strong> nearby the recent revelation Juliette Armanet<\/strong>, the no less famous Matthieu Chedid<\/strong>, all supported by the promising folk<\/strong> activist Ad\u00e9<\/b>, without forgetting the last tour<\/strong> of the Shaka Ponk <\/strong>band, and the dark and wild electro<\/strong> facet proposed by Zaho de Sagazan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Once again, don’t also miss the opportunity to discover some young talents<\/strong> coming from this cultural Essonne<\/strong> department, so to say Kriill<\/b>, Dynah<\/strong>, Laveine<\/strong>, Triinu<\/strong> and Imparfait<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
