Welcome to Musique en Vacances
 
The Association
 
It all started in 1981. François Mayrand met Jean-Louis Sajot, well known clarinetist of the Orchestre National de France in Paris.
They shared an idea : there must be many amateur musicians who would like to meet and play chamber music for a week during their summer holidays.

So it proved to be: and after only a few years , the non-profit making organisation Musique en Vacances hads become established actor on the French summer course market.
 

Over the years, thousands of musicians have enjoyed making music together and, at the same time, visiting the beautiful spots chosen as venues by the Association.
Gradually these summer weeks have become truly international. Musicians from 12 countries came to play their instrument in Loches in August 2005.
