Held annually in Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris, the festival is a major musical celebration featuring performances of classical music, rock, Irish folk, gospel and jazz. It is renowned for blending classical music programme with contemporary musical styles. Most of the concerts take place in the grand Légion d’Honneur or the famous Royal Cathedral Basilica, one of the city’s first Gothic buildings and the burial place of all but three of the Kings of France.
