So many events going on in Paris during the summer and this is another music festival in Paris, la Fête de la Musique which is held every year on June 21 since 1982! This is an event in which local amateur bands of all types of music come out on the streets of Paris and just play their hearts out from evening onwards.
We started out from Le Marais around 8 pm. There were bands in almost every corner of the streets with the theme of rock music, something that we agreed we were in the mood for... (while in the Tour Eiffel area had the world music as the theme and other areas with different themes.) We walked around for awhile and then ended up at one bar for a happy hour, drinking a few of
blanche and wines. We moved on after over an hour when the streets got more lively...we walked towards Bastille where the fun and the craziness should be. There was such a crowd where this band who was playing songs from the Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, the White Stripes etc. I couldn't help but singing and jumping along...till I was forced to move on. Bastille was wild with two big stages of techno set with crazy spotlights which almost blinded my eyes. The crowd of both stages was HUGE dancing and squeezing themselves in to find their spots. Empty beer bottles and broken ones all around. Smells of marijuana and all that...It was fun, it was crazy...but too bad there were too many drunk and high people who decided to reveal ungodly manners near us/to us which put us all off the mood and decided to say
bonne nuit to the night.
