It's a tried-and-tested formula that has worked every time for 16 years. At the end of each summer, the Parc des Oiseaux in Villars-les-Dombes also becomes a temple of French song for its Les Musicales festival.
This Friday evening, Barbara Pravi will open the festivities, followed the next evening by Kendji Girac and, on Sunday, by Marc Lavoine. And it will continue until September 14th with Laurent Voulzy, Hoshi, Amir, Thomas Dutronc...
As the sun sets, in a green setting by the lake, time stands still. A special treat for this always eagerly awaited event.
