China Moses at Coutances is a separate concert event at Salle Marcel Hélie, not a duplicate of other performances at the same venue. The listing is artist-specific and belongs to the live-music calendar around Jazz sous les Pommiers. It is a good option for visitors who want a vocal jazz performance in Coutances while still keeping the broader festival context in view.
Region: Normandy
Albumine & Collodion Expo
Albumine & Collodion Expo is an exhibition at Rouen’s Bibliothèque patrimoniale Villon, with a title that points to early photographic techniques. The setting makes it especially relevant for visitors interested in archives, image history and the material side of photography. It is a quieter cultural stop that complements Rouen’s larger museum and heritage offerings.
MAAAR: Folk Vocal Concert
MAAAR: Folk Vocal Concert brings vocal folk music to Salle Daniel Rouault in Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe. The event is intimate in scale compared with Normandy’s large festivals, which makes the concert feel more connected to the local cultural circuit. It suits visitors looking for a live performance in a smaller Orne venue with a clear musical identity.
Salon du Cidre et Poiré
Salon du Cidre et Poiré focuses on two emblematic Norman drinks: cider and poiré. Held at the Cité de l’Alimentation in Hérouville-Saint-Clair, the event gives visitors a compact way to explore regional know-how, orchard culture and local taste. It is a useful food-calendar stop for anyone interested in Normandy beyond cheese, seafood and sweets.
Festival Courant d’Art
Festival Courant d’Art uses Rouen’s heritage venues as settings for artistic programming. The event’s strength is the connection between place and performance: visitors experience culture while moving through sites that already carry architectural or historical interest. It works well for travellers who like festivals that unfold across a city rather than staying inside a single theatre.
Marathon de la Liberté Running Festival
Marathon de la Liberté Running Festival brings runners and supporters together around Caen for a major public sporting day. The event’s name links it to Normandy’s memory landscape, while the race itself gives the city a lively outdoor atmosphere. It belongs in the popular-festival calendar because it gathers people across generations around participation, endurance and regional identity.
Fête de la Musique Alençon
Fête de la Musique Alençon brings music into the centre-ville and around Place Foch for an informal June celebration. The event is less about a single headline act and more about the shared pleasure of live sound in public space. Visitors can use it as an easy evening stop while experiencing Alençon’s local cultural life.
American Film Festival Deauville
American Film Festival Deauville is a cinema-focused cultural event at the Centre International de Deauville. The festival gives the seaside resort a film-world atmosphere in September, drawing attention to screenings, guests and the town’s long association with cinema. It is best suited to visitors who want a cultural break that feels polished but still tied to Deauville’s coastal identity.
Fête de la Musique Lisieux
Fête de la Musique Lisieux turns the centre-ville into a casual stage for the start of summer. The event invites people to enjoy live music in an open public setting, with the town’s streets providing the backdrop. For visitors, it is a simple way to add a local evening experience to a day spent in and around Lisieux.
Rouen sur Mer Summer Festival
Rouen sur Mer Summer Festival brings a holiday mood to the Seine quays, especially around Quai Cavelier de la Salle. The event turns the riverside into a seasonal public space for leisure, family activities and relaxed summer gatherings. It is a practical city event for visitors who want to enjoy Rouen outdoors between museum visits, shopping and walks through the historic centre.
