Pierre Cardin’s villa in Theoule in the South of France hosted a fabulous Ray Charles tribute concert in the grounds. Each year for the last ten years Pierre Cardin has made the “Theatre des boules” available for a series of summer concerts and shows of exceptional quality.
The setting of the remarkable outdoor theatre is quite incredible and any visitor cannot fail to be impressed at the wonderful atmosphere. Perched up a hillside the venue has amphitheatre seating overlooking a large deck stage which has a backdrop of a beautiful peninsula and the Mediterranean Sea.
The Ray Charles tribute performance last night was performed by high quality Jazz musicians whose excellent choice of numbers had the whole audience singing and clapping and dancing along all evening. A memorable night was had by all and to listen to such excellent music on a balmy evening, with the stars out and boats drifting past every now and again was quite unforgettable.
There were many people in the audience who were obviously regulars, well accustomed to the courtesy bus service which takes you from Theoule centre up to the venue and back. A pleasant bonus was the very well priced champagne on offer at 5€ a glass. Tickets can be obtained through the tourist office in Theoule or the FNAC.
You can enjoy the summer entertainment at the Pierre Cardin Theatre from the comfort of a luxury villa with private pool in the French Riviera with Villas du Monde - Villas Worldwide, part of our range of luxury private gites in France.
