Menton's famous Festival de Musique - this is the 63rd edition - is currently taking place at the parvis in front of the Basilica in the Old Town.

Part of this festival is a Masterclass for harpists given by virtuuso Marielle Nordmann. These are taking place in the villa of the Serre de la Madone , probably Menton's most famous garden. The culmination of these masterclasses will be a performance by the students at the Palais de l'Europe.

  1. There's just something about a harp ...
    Not like any other instrument.

    I'm so happy to see that the word parvis is actually used. I knew it only for the Holy Sepulchre.
