Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives (Kenny Vaughan, Marty Stuart, Harry Stinson, Brian Nolf) 07/24/2004 Photo : Phiilippe Boutin Craponne If country and western is your thing, you really won't be disappointed by the Country Rendez-vous Festival in Craponne-sur-Arzon. The organisers have been very successful in recent years at attracting top talents from Nashville and Austin, as well as from all over the US and Europe. The festival has grown in size and now attracts 35,000 people, big enough, but not too big - the event still has a wonderful family atmosphere. But what really makes the rendez-vous special is the setting - a natural amphitheatre at 1000m (nights are cool) surrounded by pine forests with incredible views of the mountains of the Velay and Ardèche. So if it is country, bluegrass or zydeco you're into, or just the great outdoors, come on down to one of the most scenic hoe-downs this side of the Atlantic.
