Nice Jazz Festival
The Nice Jazz Festival can trace its beginnings back to the 1940s. Since then, it has grown to become one of the major jazz festivals in the world. It is held in the Cimiez Arenas and Gardens in Nice where musicians perform simultaneously in three stages set in olive groves and a Roman amphitheatre.

Audiences are encouraged to wander around from stage to stage to fully enjoy the impressive range of the performers that the festival showcases. The first acts take the different stages at 7:30 p.m. and rotate every hour or so on each of the stages until midnight. Jazz lovers travelling in France during the summer should definitely not miss this event.
