We’ve said it once, we’ll say it a thousand times: If you haven’t heard of the Nuits de Fourvière festival, you're missing out on one of Europe's richest and most exciting festivals.

It’s been going strong since 1946 and it’s hands down one of our favourite European festivals, with its stunning location matching equally impressive line-ups.
