Has anyone ever been to the Marciac J*** Festival?

Posted by: Chillkram on 07 October 2006

I'm off to the French Pyrenees next year in early August and am hoping to catch the festival. Has anyone been and if so, what is it like?

Regards

Mark,

I have a Bireli Lagrene - Live in Marciac CD that cooks!

It's all in the line up i guess. Can't offer any other help. Sorry.

Mark,

I thought the name was vaguely familiar, now that I've seen the map I realized that I have been there, but simply not during the festival. My parents stayed nearby, house sitting for six months and told me about the festival when I visited them. Unfortunately they did not get to go either as it was the wrong time of year. Lovely part of France, you will have a great time there.

Enjoy

I was in the area earlier this year and yes you're right Nic, it is beautiful.

Unfortunately I missed the festival by a couple of weeks, but we're booking up to go again next year and I'm hoping to catch it this time as it seems quite a big deal and, as you rightly say munch, a really good line up.

I'm looking forward to it, I just wondered whether anyone else had been or knew of it.

I was there in August 2005. Beautiful village, relaxed, yet quite bustling atmosphere, big tent in a field, smaller tent in town centre square, nice cafés, sunshine. Well worth a day or two.
