The Walk of Jazz Giants

In the historic setting of the Gould pine forest, where the Antibes Juan-les-Pins International Jazz Festival, the dean of jazz festivals in Europe, takes place every year, “Jazz à Juan” is an integral part of French culture and heritage.

Created in 1960 as a tribute to Sidney Bechet, the festival has established itself over the decades as one of the legendary events where the memory of jazz is developed, but also and especially where its eternal renewal is affirmed. «Jazz à Juan» has presented since its creation all jazz, all jazz, and remains an international reference in the matter.

Each summer, celebrities from all over the world come to perform at "Jazz à Juan", leaving their handprints in the European birthplace of jazz for you to discover imprinted on this Jazz "Walk of Fame" as you make your way along.
