Festival Musiques & Gastronomie du Monde – 30ème édition

Organized by the town of Saint-Palais-sur-Mer for five years, Musiques et Gastronomie du Monde is a unique festival in Charente-Maritime, combining world music concerts and quality catering.

The festival will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year with six worldmusic concerts on the program, the likes of which we rarely see in Charente-Maritime. A true musical and cultural journey which takes us once again this year to the four corners of the world.

Music of course, but also gastronomy: a dozen restaurants from around the world will be there to help you (re)discover the delights of their countries, in a friendly and family atmosphere, with a breathtaking view of the Cordouan lighthouse.
