Looking up to the Cathedral
Got to love the cute little backstreets of France...Hi Everyone
I have been so busy and have forgotten to keep updating my blog! I have yet another strike today at school so I figured now was the perfect opportunity to write about the Printemps de Bourges.
Printemps de Bourges is a huge music festival that has been running in Bourges (right in the centre of France an hour south-east of where I live) for over 30 years. It is an annually run festival and it goes for a week in April. I was lucky enough to go with some American friends and we have the most amazing time. The city is taken over with bands, acts, singers, dancers and just general rowdiness! We had so much fun going out during the day and just looking at different performances and the likes on the side of the road - definately a lot of talent.
We went to see one concert - The Kooks, The Dø and the BB Brunes. It was absolutely amazing. There was a huge tent that served as the single arena and had over 2000 people in it. My American friend, Julia, and I were right up the front in the moshpit for a
At the Cathedral
The Cathedral in Bourges is really massive and so beautiful. This is just one of the doors leading into the church! good part of the concert and got the attention of the singers being the only ones in the crowd screaming in English!!!
Going out at night to see the streets lined with firetwirlers, drummers and singers was great fun too. We met lots of cool new people and just had fun as being part of the festival.
Hope you enjoy the pictures
