Jazz and wine in the Languedoc

Each year in August there is the Jazz à l’Hospitalet festival in the Languedoc. It is the dynamic winemaker Gerard Bertrand (and ex-rugby star) that since several years arranges the festival at his vineyard at Château l’Hospitalet. This year the jazz festival takes place on August 5 to 9. And it’s an impressive list of musicians that will play: Liz Mc Comb, Maceo Parker, Maurane Ô Nougaro, JFX, Nathalie Dessay & Michel Legrand, Garou… And the venue is not bad: on a hill in the La Clape region, not far from the sea, in one of France’s sunniest regions, with a very nice hotel available at the chateau itself. www.gerard-bertrand.com
