SAMOIS SUR SUISSE- FLORIN NICULESCU & CHRISTIAN ESCOUDÉ

We are pleased to invite you to the first edition of our festival dedicated to gypsy jazz "Samois sur Suisse".

For the record, the town of Samois sur Seine (near Fontainebleau) hosted the Django Reinhardt international jazz festival from 1983 to 2015. A real crossroads and meeting place for all lovers of gypsy swing, the festival is also the occasion for many wild jam sessions, whether on the luthiers' stands or in the campsites until early morning...

It is this atmosphere that the Auberge des Vergers team will try to recreate and for this we have concocted a rich programme of concerts and masterclasses.
