The 15th edition of Jazz à Saint-Germain-des-Prés livens up the streets of the 5th and 7th arrondissements, with an impressive progam including Duke Ellington, Eric Truffaz Quartet, Kellylee Evans, Youn Sun Nah Quartet, The Mates and Gerry. The festival organises concerts in venues that are not normally open to the public, like the Sorbonne's majestic Richelieu amphitheatre and the equally elegant Institut Océanographique.
For cash-strapped students, tha festival also offers a series of free concerts at the Montparnasse FNAC store and the square at Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
