The Jazz festival in Nice is the only one of its kind in France. Established in 1948 with the likes of Louis Armstrong and Django Reinhardt on stage it quickly became a huge success. This year you can expect to see performances from Erykah Badu, BB King, the James Taylor Quartet, Gabriella Cilmi, Melaine Peyroux, Youssou N'Dour and Tracy Chapman among others. It promises to be a truly memorable festival.
