No doubt about it, it’s summer! The particularly hot temperatures of the last few days bear witness to this. Although the weather is expected to improve in the near future, summer will still be hot in Cathar country, thanks to music festivals close to the campsite that will keep locals and holidaymakers alike buzzing. We present you with our selection from a multitude of festivities that will take place all summer long during your camping stay in the Aude.
Festival De Carcassonne half an hour from the campsite – All July 2019
The Carcassonne Festival takes place in a unique open-air setting throughout July. From the Jean-Deschamps theater to the medieval city and the Carnot stage, come and enjoy a program that’s sure to please. If some concerts are already sold out for the Festival IN (Soprano, Kendji Girac etc.), rest assured that the Festival OFF is particularly generous this summer 2019: from Gaetan Roussel on July 3, to Clara Luciani on July 10, Alain Chamfort on July 11 or Tiken Jah Fakoly on July 17, you can attend a free concert by a renowned artist every day during this month of madness. But the Carcassonne Festival also includes theater, dance and cinema, making for great cultural outings close to your pitch or accommodation.
Don’t hesitate to consult the Carcassonne Festival program to help you plan your camping holiday near the medieval city!
Music & History Festival at Fontfroide
25 minutes from the campsite #July 15 to 19
As its name suggests, this festival in the heart of Fontfroide Abbey combines music and history for concerts and conferences, with the exceptional presence of Edgar Morin on July 17 and 19 at 6:40 pm. Led by conductor Jordi Savall, this festival could not have chosen a better venue than the magnificent Cistercian abbey and its superb gardens to host these medieval and Renaissance melodies. If you love classical music, this is the event for you! As for the simply curious, it’s highly likely that they too will let themselves be bewitched by the charm of the place and by the notes of these talented musicians who will be sounding just a few kilometers from our campsite in the Aude.
Barques en scène in Narbonne, 25 minutes from the campsite – August 22-24, 2019
The festival Barques en scène is another free music event not to be missed on your camping vacation near Narbonne . Three days of festivities await you, with three renowned artists set to thrill you in a series of high-octane concerts. Young Hoshi, with her unmistakable voice, will kick off the festivities on August 22, followed by Maître Gims (or just Gims, as he prefers to be called from now on) the next day. On August 23, the man in the dark glasses, with millions of albums sold, will get the young and old up and dancing in a concert they’re not likely to forget. Last but not least, Amir, a former The Voice contestant who has come a long way since then (including a notable appearance at Eurovision in 2016), will bring this summer event to a close.
