The French celebrate the summer solstice with music. In and around Paris, as well as in other parts of the country there are music festivals abound. Free music shows from early this afternoon with some carrying on until the end of the week.
Coming from a country where our celebration of the longer days and perpetual sunlight is marked by a good braai - mind you the braaing (yes that is a word) never ceases in South Africa irrespective of the weather so I guess that makes that a redundant form of celebration - this is different. I am loving it though and can't wait to take it all in.
It's officially summer and we are counting down to the beginning of the summer holidays.
There are various websites with information about the numerous festivals here, here, and if you happen to be in my neighbourhood, here.
