Le Monastier-sur-Gazeille - Le Petit Orchestre Parisien

Le Monastier-sur-Gazeille is known by musicians as this is the place of the "Festival du Monastier" (aka "Festival de Cuivres"), a great meeting centered around "brass". 40 concerts - in 7 days!!

The program of the Festival informed, that on Sunday afternoon the "Petit Orchestre Parisien" would be on the mainstage. This would be "Bal Guinguette" - free entrance for everybody. I did not know, what a "Bal Guinguette" meant an learned from my French host that this would be a "Bal Musette", what not really helped me. Everybody will dance, I was told. And he was right! The "Petit Orchestre Parisien" offered such a brilliant mixture of music performed perfectly. Vivacious Cathy Cardie, the singer, was very encouraging - and so all people were dancing after a short while!
