Vence Nuits du Sud concerts begin on the 7 July and now is the time for Vence holiday makers to reserve tickets to enjoy beautiful music on balmy summer evenings if you are lucky enough to be on holiday in the south of France in July.
The old town square in the beautiful town of Vence, which lies just a few minutes drive inland into the hills from Nice, is a perfect venue for summer concerts. The audience capacity is big enough to make for a good atmosphere whilst remaining essentially family friendly.
The acts tend not to be main stream but they are well chosen and invariable highly entertaining every year. Many of the locals attend Vence nuits du sud as well as people on holiday in Vence and the surrounding area.
For more information on the concerts and how to get tickets, which are essential as otherwise you will never get in, see the official nuit du sud website nuitsdusud.com You can also purchase tickets from the FNAC in Nice or Cannes and at the Auchan hypermarket in Grasse.
On the 7 July you can enjoy a performance by female singer Jaqee along with the Golan Project. On the 8 July a local band of musicians from Nice Les P’tits gars Laids along with French Israeli female singer Yael Naim and reggae act Patrice. There is plenty more!
The great thing about a nuit du sud concert is that you can combine it with a visit to the beautiful town of Vence which has stunning views of the mountains, a nice old town with lovely cafes and restaurants and some cultural interest such as the Matisse chapel (a bit expensive for what it is in my view but art lovers may well think its worth it). You might even want to take a walk in the hills during the day and make a full day and evening of it.
