Off Touraine Jazz Festival

The Off programme of Touraine Jazz Festival brings free concerts to the open-air stage at Montlouis-sur-Loire’s Village Gourmand. Artists and bands range across different jazz styles and eras, making discovery part of the experience across many musical languages. The informal setting gives audiences room to arrive, listen and move between sets while keeping careful listening central. Food stands place regional hospitality and local flavours beside the stage and turn the esplanade into a welcoming social meeting point. As the accessible counterpart to the festival’s indoor programme, the Off keeps jazz connected with public space, shared meals and the everyday cultural life of Montlouis for residents and travelling music lovers alike.
