Here, we reveal the best music hotspots in the Latin Quarter !
By the way, do you know the history of the Fête de la Musique and how it came about? The Fête de la Musique was created in 1982 on the initiative of the French Ministry of Culture. That year, the Ministry of Culture's studies and research department conducted a major survey of French cultural practices. It revealed that five million people, including one young person in two, play a musical instrument. So Jack Lang, architect and scenographer Christian Dupavillon, a member of his Cabinet, and Maurice Fleuret came up with the idea of a major popular event to enable all musicians to express themselves and make themselves known. The very first Fête de la Musique was launched on June 21 1982, the symbolic day of the summer solstice.
For a successful fête de la musique in Paris's historic district, here are the not-to-be-missed concerts on June 21, 2025 in the Latin Quarter !
