Headaches are the order of the day after the Fête de la Musique in 15,000 sites throughout France and in 120 countries

FRANCE woke up bleary-eyed this morning after a day celebrating the Fête de la musique in sites ranging from the Elysee Palace to the tiniest back street.
There were more than 15,000 free concerts throughout France and the 28th Fête de la Musique was celebrated in 120 countries worldwide, including 19 European.
The Elysee echoed to the sounds of jazz, swing, gipsy and Caribbean music while the Palais-Royal gardens marked 50 years of French chanson with Carmen Maria Vega.
The Bois de Boulogne saw a free concert with US singer Chris Isaak and British pop star Seal and in Besançon party-goers used Facebook to organise an event in Place de la Révolution – more than 5000 turned up.
