Jazz in the village in the heart of the Morvan Regional Natural Park
Created in 2014, the Fleurs de Jazz en Morvan festival offers jazz concerts every Ascension weekend in Larochemillay and the villages of Morvan. Eclectic and high-quality programming in an exceptional natural setting in the heart of the Regional Natural Park. Beyond the festival, concerts in villages are scheduled throughout the year.
Every year on Ascension weekend, the small village of Larochemillay, nestled in the heart of the Morvan Regional Natural Park, becomes the ephemeral capital of jazz in Nièvre. Since 2014, the Fleurs de Jazz en Morvan festival has been offering quality concerts in a preserved natural setting, combining musical pleasure and rural conviviality.
In 2014, a team of jazz and Morvan enthusiasts decided to establish a jazz festival in the heart of the territory, with the aim of sharing, exchanging, and bringing pleasure through music in an exceptional natural setting. This initiative, supported by many volunteers, has become a must-attend musical event in the Morvan.
The festival offers high-level, eclectic, and varied programming, featuring musical groups primarily from the Burgundy and Franche-Comté scenes. While jazz is at the core of the project, the programming is not limited to it and opens up to other musical universes: blues, swing, improvised music, chanson. The main goal is to evoke emotion and conviviality.
Beyond the Ascension weekend, the association schedules concerts throughout the year in the villages of Morvan. This "village concert season" keeps music alive closer to the residents, in community halls, barns, or outdoors, thus contributing to the cultural revitalization of rural areas.
Larochemillay and the Morvan region offer a remarkable natural setting to experience music differently. Concerts take place in authentic venues—village halls, outdoor spaces, heritage sites—creating a unique proximity between artists and the audience in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
