For over three decades, this beloved festival has championed the art of songwriting, presenting artists who captivate with their lyrics as much as their melodies. Expect an eclectic lineup spanning indie-folk, poetic pop, and soulful acoustic performances, all united by a commitment to lyrical integrity. The festival transforms various venues across Saint-Étienne, from historic theaters to cozy, unexpected spaces, fostering a close connection between artists and audience. Beyond the main stages, discover thought-provoking discussions, artist encounters, and workshops designed to delve deeper into the craft of songwriting. Paroles & Musiques is an invitation to listen, to feel, and to be moved by the power of words set to music. It’s a week-long celebration where storytelling takes center stage, creating an atmosphere of shared discovery and profound artistic appreciation. Join us for an unforgettable journey into the heart of francophone musical creativity.
