Luckily the strange heavy rain fall down on Saturday, we really had the weather support for this year’s “fete de la Musique”.

Didn’t get time to check where Jack Lang chooses to go, I decided to go to the Elysée Palace just to see whether could get any image of the President together with his super model-singer wife.

Unusually the press had to be checked much more than the publics: we have to cue at the side gate, pass two security check gates, get a badge etc, then sent to a very small zone closed with red ropes as barriers, while the visitors could enter from the main gate widely opened.

There was the performance of the republic guards, of classical young musicians, operas, but the most interesting part is the last group with overseas Caribbean music. Just imagine in the yard of the presidential palace, a group of Caribbean musicians leading the whole crowds for singing, dancing, with their hands all raised, waving…

Isn’t it wonderful?

Unfortunately it exists only for one afternoon, and the long-waited president couple didn’t show out as expected.

A new discovery:

The “Pool images” could even be made form the top of the main gate. Even the former media consultant of the President didn’t know about that when I showed this picture to him.
