What is Fete du Musique? Every June 21 in the fine country of France, amateur musicians are permitted to play in the streets. So you can walk around the 5th and 6th Arondissements as I did, and hear a bunch of rock bands playing songs from the 80s, 90s etc. or go around the corner of your own neighborhood and see some jazz musicians, a quartet, Arab music by the Institut du Arab etc. It is such a great way to celebrate the coming of summer.
In fact, this year it seems it really was the welcome to summer. The weather here has been unseasonably cool - in the 50s and 60s, until Tuesday when it suddenly has blossomed into beautiful summer weather.
