Check out the anuual Jazz Festival taking place at the La Défense Esplanade this weekend. La Défense can be a bit of a schlep from the center of Paris (unless you take a taxi) but if I think it will be worth it, especially to see Herbie Hancock (6pm on Sunday) who is a LEGEND. I Love him.
Bring along some friends, wine, glasses, a picnic and blanket or camping chairs to spend a perfect Parisian summer evening surrounded by music.
