More to see in Nantes

In the past, Nantes was known as a large industrial city, and now it is a major tourist center and a venue for many interesting holidays and international festivals. The most unusual holiday in the calendar of Nantes is La Folle Journée, a classical music festival whose name is translated from French as "Crazy Day". This festival got its name in honor of Beaumarchais' famous play and was first held in 1995. Its founder was the renowned producer Rene Martin. In the mid-90s, he decided to draw public attention to classical music, which has lost its former popularity in recent years. He decided to organize short concerts, the duration of which wouldn't exceed 45 minutes, and make tickets as cheap as possible. In a matter of years, the festival has gained immense popularity, and now its program covers as many as five days. Concert venues located in Nantes can no longer ensure the full implementation of the program, so some surrounding cities take part in the festival too. A certain theme is chosen for the festival every year - the event is traditionally dedicated to the work of a certain composer. The city's main musical festival takes place in early February, and in November, Nantes hosts the Festival des 3 Continents. It is one of the oldest film festivals in France that has been held annually since 1979. The event is dedicated to the national cinema of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Over the years of its existence, the program of this festival has also expanded … Read further
