Cecilia reports for Radio Popolare

Arrival in Orléans one day prior to the beginning of the festival was an opportunity to take some time to explore the beautiful city with proper french vibes and a light, bright and positive atmosphere, where modern and medieval perfectly match together. Our host Salome brought us to visit "Le Cent Huit", where Chloe showed us around. A former chocolate factory from the 19th century now contains several aggregative associations for young people, but we've also visited L'Astrolabe which aims to make contemporary music accessible to everybody. More about interesting lectures, record digging, the visit of Radio Campus Orleans and the experience of the festival can be heard in the report.
