Music fest
Every year on the 21th of june, in France we celebrate the begining of the summer with music.
In 1982, the ministre of culture decided to create this event.
The first years, it was a modest event with only non-professional groupe. But littel by littel, it grew up because pubs and restaurants wanted to earn much money and they paid professional band with loud sonor effects.
Luckily, some places are still quiet with musicians who play with accoustic instruments, or choirs. Personaly, That's what I prefer.
