Bonjour Brno 2010: enjoy French culture, music, wine and food

by Michal Kašpárek on March 24, 2010

A non-profit Alliance Française launches the 16th annual festival of French culture, Bonjour Brno, on Wednesday. Bonjour Brno runs until April 27 and offers concerts, exhibitions, film screenings, several gourmet events and a petanque tournament.

Meet the new Nirvana at Trans Musicales

On March 25th and 26th, legendary music festival Trans Musicales takes place in Fléda club. The festival has been running for 30 years and its purpose is to show new promising bands. Nirvana, Beastie Boys, Björk and The Fugees have been among the past “unknown but talented” performers!

The Popopopops

The Popopopops

You can look forward to these bands: Mr Elegantz (Fr), The Popopopops (Fr), The Wankin’Noodles (Fr), Modul Club (Fr), DJ Missill (Fr), Bobby Hardcore Liberace (Fr), Le Pneumatique (Cz), Success (Fr), Dat Politics (Fr), The Popopopops DJ set (Fr), Danton Eeprom (Fr) and Théo Gravil (Fr).

Tickets valid for both days cost only CZK 180, so this is a really great opportunity to spot new trends and possibly tell your grandkids: “Well, I was at the concert of Dat Politics looong before they became so famous!”

Gourmet week in La Bouchée

Restaurant La Bouchée offers French specials between March 30 and February 4. It is not going to be cheap, but I think it will be worth of the money.

Pétanque tournament with pastis degustation

On Sunday, April 11, a pétanque tournament will take a place in Lužánky park. You can taste the legendary pastis for free, if you want.

But wait! There is so much more!

For complete programme, check out the Czech and French website of Bonjour Brno.
