August is the month for the renowned international Jazz festival in the small town of Marciac in the Gers department. Jazz supporters come from all over Europe and to accomodate the crowd, locals are renting rooms in their home , including breakfast for a fee between 35 and 50 euros for a twin, pretty good.
Filming and photography were not allowed at the big concerts, I let you google the big names I was so lucky to enjoy their show

It is 2 weeks of jazz with flavours from music of the world. In the streets and on the city place free concerts are on all day till 2am. a great atmosphere with art exhibitions and stalls for all.
