About Clef de Voûte Festival
The Festival Clef de Voûte brings together a series of concerts and musical journeys in Angers dedicated to early music, ranging from the Renaissance to the Baroque period. Under the artistic direction of Bruno Le Levreur, the festival kicks off with an opening concert at the Greniers Saint-Jean. The experience continues at the former couvent de la Baumette, where audiences are invited on guided musical walks that wind through the cloister, chapel, terraced gardens, and the site's own grotto.
