May Events in France

In May, do as you please! And fortunately, you will not be short of entertaining events this year either!

The Roland Garros Tennis Tournament

For all tennis enthusiasts, and even for all sports enthusiasts in general, there is an event in May that undoubtedly features on the list of unmissable events. This tournament is world-renowned for the players who compete there and for the magnitude and grandeur of the victory of the most deserving. It is very interesting to follow, and each year, millions of French people watch this great event live on television. You can of course go and see it live to experience the greatest matches.

The Cannes Film Festival

If we take what Roland Garros is to tennis, then the Cannes Film Festival is just as much for cinema. It is a major globally recognised festival that brings the greatest actors and actresses of the moment to France, to the city of Cannes. At this festival, you can admire the stars walking the red carpet, follow live the ceremonies that dedicate and present awards to actors but also to directors. It is also the ideal place to bask in the sun and on the beaches. If you are travelling in the area around Cannes, go and take a look and why not leave with an autograph or two!

The Mont Saint Michel Marathon

This marathon is another major sporting event, with many participants competing on the most famous avenues of Mont Saint Michel. If you are a sports enthusiast and a fan of half-marathons or marathons, we recommend taking part in this great sporting event. Whether you take part or not, you will love the friendly atmosphere against an unforgettable backdrop.

Lyon Sound Nights

After sport and cinema, it is also time to pay tribute to music with the Lyon Sound Nights. A great gathering that sees various artists and musicians come to make noise with joy and good humour in the lively beautiful city of Lyon. Everyone is invited and everyone enjoys it! That is the concept of these Sound Nights. Whether you are a music lover or not, visiting or living in Lyon or the surrounding area, do not hesitate to go and spend some time there to enjoy the general good mood!
