The Lacoste Festival,
After the announcement of the Inn of Avignon 2021 festival, here is the turn of the municipality of Lacoste in the Vaucluse to reveal the content of its festival for this summer.
For this edition it will be an orphan Festival of its founder Pierre Cardin, who died on December 29, which will be held this year. It was the couturier’s nephew, Rodrigo Basilicati Cardin, who presented last week the 21st edition of the Lacoste Festival dedicated to theater, opera and dance.
The festival takes place every year under the sky of Provence in an unusual and memorable place that are the quarries of the castle of the Marquis de Sade.
