FULL CIRCLE
Party On? Nature, music and astronomy are at the heart of the 10th Festival Vie Sauvage in BOURG which, although cancelled last year, is still hoping to go ahead from 11 to 13 June this year. Held annually at the beginning of summer, the village comes alive, passionately celebrating eating, partying and living – and they do it really, really well! Go wild and enjoy music, concerts, dancing and great food in an 18th-century Citadelle where life is far from dull! www.facebook.com/ festivalviesauvage/ 8
The much awaited Jazz 360 Festival promises to cover all styles of jazz in CENAC from 3 to 13 June. Postponed from 2020, the event remains faithful to its ethos set 11 years ago and is scheduled to present 20 concerts across various communes in the Portes
Entre-deux-Mers. Designed to appeal to both those who are curious about jazz and “jazz aficionados”, it brings together a series of creative, modern jazz performances from an extraordinary selection of musicians. www.jazz.fr
