On this Wednesday, June 21, 2023 and like hundreds of cities in France, the capital is preparing to vibrate to the sound of organized or improvised concerts, everywhere in the streets, bars, museums or performance halls. Throughout the city, hundreds of events are planned, for all ages, all tastes, free of charge.
