An Elegant and Accessible Program
Each edition brings together around 150 artists of national and international renown for a week of concerts. The program, both elegant and original, features solo recitals, four-hand concerts, chamber music, tributes to great composers, and innovative musical shows. The festival notably paid tribute to Maurice Ravel during the 2025 edition.

The concerts take place in several emblematic venues in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage: the Palais des Congrès, the Salle des 4 Saisons, and other spaces in the resort. The discovery concerts at 5 PM and the headline concerts in the evening allow everyone to find a format that suits them.
A Festival Accessible to All
The aim of Les Pianos Folies is to make classical music accessible to as many people as possible. Prices are moderate, with discovery concerts at 15 euros and headline concerts starting at 29 euros.
