ABOUT LES NUITS CARRÉES

Launched in 2007, the Nuits Carrées Festival has become a must-see event on the Côte d’Azur.

Held from 2007 to 2019 at the foot of the monumental Fort Carré by the sea, Nuits Carrées has successfully showcased this exceptional historic site by offering a high-calibre programme each year, combining headliners and emerging acts, alongside a pricing policy designed to make the event accessible to as many people as possible.
