Here are 3 good reasons to go to Jazz in Bern

On the evening of July 31st, get ready to dance: French-American jazz singer Robyn Bennett—and her band, which extends its repertoire from swing to funk and soul, including country rock and blues—will make your body vibrate with her powerful voice and captivating timbre. Originally from Pennsylvania, the singer has developed a vintage and chic universe, influenced by the voices of the great American crooners. Her latest release: Love , an EP released in 2024, also available on vinyl, gives a little taste of the evening. On the menu: funky guitars, electronic keyboard, moments of breaks that punctuate the compositions between heady melodies and electrifying silences.

2. To sing (or shout) the hits of Celine Dion or Pink Floyd

If you've never had the chance to see Celine Dion in concert, you can console yourself at the Château de Berne with a tribute dedicated to the Canadian artist's repertoire on July 18. These hits will be performed by Gwladys Fraioli, a singer with a striking voice from the south of France. Pour que tu m'aimes encore , but also J'irai où tu iras without forgetting My Heart Will Go On ... it's the opportunity to sing at the top of your lungs.

On August 8, the Darkside Pink Floyd group will delight rock fans with a 2h15 show that will bring to life the soul of the famous British group and the songs that have marked its history: Another Brick in the Wall, Money, Time, Shine on you Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here …

3. To enjoy the surroundings of a 5-star Relais & Châteaux

Located between Lorgues and Flayosc, in the heart of a 500-hectare wine estate, including 150 hectares of organic vineyards, the Château de Berne offers a beautiful Provençal setting for a festival. Guests can enjoy open-air concerts near the vineyards and the sweet scents of lavender and pine forests at nightfall. The focus of this festival is on gastronomy. For dining, you can enjoy the food trucks on site or book a reservation at one of the restaurants, from the Michelin-starred Bistrot to the Jardin de Berne, while tasting the estate's organic wines with one of the picnic options to savor in the evening air.
