MUST DO

Every year in August, La Charité-sur Loire awakens to the atmospheric sounds of Blues et Loire, a festival that has dominated the river festivals in Burgundy for more than fifteen years. This year, the festival will be held from 11 to 17 August, with concerts in the Prieuré, on terraces and in the streets, and completely free of charge.

Date and time: 11–17 August 2025, multiple evenings and locations

What makes it special?
• Top-class blues from home and abroad, with performances on the Loire
• Intimate atmosphere: you are in the heart of the village, surrounded by wine lovers and local residents
• Combine the music with a glass of Pouilly or Sancerre for an evening full of Burgundian experiences
‘Live music, a glass of wine, the Loire in the background... that's Burgundy for me,’ says agent Linda Bakker.

Why you don't want to miss this :
• You experience the region in all its zest for life, culture and warmth
• You taste wine, enjoy music, and possibly meet residents and future neighbours
• It's an invitation to feel: this could be your summer, your home.
