Jazz en Touraine 2026
Touraine Jazz Festival draws on four decades of music-making in Montlouis-sur-Loire, sustained by artists, audiences and the people who build the gathering. Jazz and rhythmic music move across several settings, with headline performances at Espace Ligéria and the Magic Mirror. The Village Gourmand extends the festival outdoors through its own stage and a broad choice of food and drink stands. That arrangement lets concert culture and local sociability develop side by side within the same space. Rooted in its founding town, the festival has become a Touraine institution whose identity rests on stylistic openness, close contact between venues and a public accustomed to exploring music together across generations of listeners.
