tells you where to see beautiful blue (and beautiful red) this year.

In Montpellier, the fireworks will be fired on Wednesday, at 11 p.m., from Charpak Park, in Port-Marianne, after many years away from the city center.

The show will be preceded, between 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., by a free concert by the choir of the Montpellier orchestra, on Place Georges-Frêche.

Tram lines 1 and 3 will also be reinforced.

The park will open from 6 p.m., all bags will be searched at the entrance.

Wearing a mask will be compulsory.

In the villages, too

No ball, however, this year, because of the health situation. But if you have an irresistible desire to dance, a concert-ball, in the atmosphere of a New York dance hall from the 1920s to 1940s, is planned at the amphitheater at Domaine d'O, from 9 p.m. ( by purchasing the Radio France festival pass, 10 to 20 euros). A torchlight retreat will be organized at 8:30 p.m. on the Charles de Gaulle esplanade, as far as the promenade du Peyrou.
