Pinède Gould

In the heart of Juan-les-Pins, the Pinède (pine grove) remains the green lung of this part of town. Bordered by the sea, it is composed of two sections. To the north, there is a playground for children, a carousel, a sculpture by Sosno, and benches in the sun or shade of the now century-old umbrella pines. During the International Jazz Festival, a small stage is set up in this part of the park to host free concerts each early evening: the Jammin'Summer session. Every year in July, the Pinède becomes the home of Jazz à Juan. The southern section, known as "Pinède Gould," where the metal structure overlooking the beaches stands, is transformed every July into an open-air performance venue. This is where various concerts take place and, most importantly, since 1960, the Jazz à Juan festival. On the sidewalk along the Pinède Gould, you can see the handprints of the jazz musicians who have contributed to the history of this festival.
