Le Printemps de Bourges has become an institution in this part of France, or should I say in the rest of France and many parts of the world too, having become an internationally well known music event.It started in 1977 and the 'official founders' of this festival was Alain Meilland, singer, comedian, 'metteur en scène'; Maurice Frot, writer and Daniel Colling, entrepreneur.
The festival invites both well known French and international artists as well as 'rising stars' from all over the world.
80 different 'spectacles' with around 200 artists makes this event something very special, not least since there are artists not only on the official stages but all over town, in almost every corner.
In the beginning - as well as know - one also invited (and invites) artists not always being in the absolute spotlight, in spite of being good performers with interesting artistical qualities.
Below some photos from this years festival (sorry for the not so high quality, taken with our iPhone), the first I attend, even though I've been in Bourges before. Aurore visited the festival for the third time this year.
I very much liked the atmosphere, a warm and friendly dito, in spite of thousands of visitors (240 000 during the five days the festival lasted)!
