If , like me you have lived nearly all of your life in North Yorkshire, it's obvious!

Have a look at the following article.

If you pass through Sancerre this summer…

For the past six years, a music festival has taken place in Sancerre, where you can come and listen to classical music. The invited artists are very talented and often very-well known in France or abroad. They come from France or other countries and, this year, for example we have invited a Russian, two Americans and a Dutchwoman. Concerts generally take place in the church or sometimes outside if the weather is mild enough. Unfortunately, Sancerre doesn’t have an Auditorium to accommodate this kind of event (not yet….). The price of seats is very cheap, cheaper than the same concerts in France (around ten Euros and free for young people).
Well then, if you like music, come and find out for yourselves.
