Every year in France, they have one day, usually at the start of summer, that is dubbed the "Fete de la Musique" - Music Festival. In essence, anyone who wants to play music in the streets, can do so. No license is needed.

Fecamp has organized for the "Fete de la Musique" a complete street festival. Everywhere you could find music bands:

But it wasn't limited to music. For example, you could initiate yourself in the art of deep sea diving:

Alongside the boats they had installed stalls:

They sold almost anything you could imagine. There's also many different areas where you could eat:

There was a special section where there were painters exhibiting their paintings:

Special trucks in the form of boats were brought in to display special services or products

The weather wasn't really nice, warm, but very cloudy. Still, there were a lot of people;
