Vence - Sanseverino

Since more than 20 years Vence hosts the festival "Nuits du Sud". Vence is a wonderful village in the hills between Nice and Antibes. The summernights there are warm and with the music they are really magic.


Sanseverino is a French singer-songwriter and as well a clown, who can really interact with the audience. His music, influenced by Django Reinhardt, is kind of "manouche", between Chanson and Jazz. The lyrics are hard to understand (for a tourist), but the French do and have fun. As he "significantly contributed to the enrichment of the French cultural inheritance" he was awarded the "Ordre des Arts et des Lettres".
