France and Switzerland

France has historically important concert venues in cities both large and small, while Switzerland boasts its own strong musical background. Both countries are full of beautiful scenery, world-famous cuisine, and a contagious joie de vivre.

These are just a few venues where ACFEA groups have performed in recent seasons:

Église de la Madeleine, Paris
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres
Conservatoire à Rayonnemont Régional, Reims
Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon
Cathédrale Saint-Sauveur, Aix-en-Provence
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Lausanne
Hofkirche St. Leodegar, Lucerne

“It is said that the British and the French do not get on together. This, like so many stereotypes, may have had some truth when both countries had empires, the British couldn’t cook, the French couldn’t organize anything and the Brits spoke French as badly as the French spoke English. In recent years all that silliness has stopped, and anyone (even the British!) can enjoy France for its beautiful scenery, elegant cities, world-class art, reasonable prices, fabulous food – and a certain je ne sais quoi. And, these days, most of the French speak English – and don’t mind doing so!”
Hugh Davies, President, ACFEA North America
