'Fete de la Musque' here in Southern Touraine...

I have always thought that the annual 'Fete de la Musique' here in France, where musicians are asked to provide free (plus paid-for) live music, should be extended to being a week long event - well this year, as the official date  (21st) falls in the middle of the week, it has been (unofficially) as it also incorporates the local villages celebrations of the 'Feu de St.Jean'. My reasoning is that with so many opportunities to take in events but within a limited time slot, you miss so much.
