Paris Evening Jazz Walking Tour

  • Jazz arrives to Paris

    Paris has a long history of attracting artists and musicians from around the world.

    In the post-World War I era, Paris was a vibrant center of artistic and intellectual activity known as the "Roaring Twenties."

    This atmosphere of creativity and open-mindedness provided an ideal environment for Jazz to flourish.

  • The Embrace

    French Musicians Embrace Jazz: French musicians and composers, known as "Hot Clubs," formed Jazz bands that imitated the American style.

    The Quintette du Hot Club de France, led by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stéphane Grappelli, is one of the most famous examples.

    They blended Jazz with elements of Gypsy swing, creating a unique sound that became a hallmark of French Jazz.

  • Jazz is here to stay

    The establishment of Jazz festivals and clubs in France further solidified the genre's popularity.

    The Nice Jazz Festival, founded in 1948, is one of the oldest and most prominent Jazz festivals in the world.

    Jazz clubs like Le Caveau de la Huchette in Paris became important venues for both local and international Jazz.
