We will be going to this years Brass Band Festival which is earlier than usual being the weekend 20 > 22nd May.
Both an Aire and Campsite are available in Amboise.
We will as usual be on the municipal campsite

I have had no response to E:mails so am assuming booking is unnecessary as usual.
That was one of the unanswered questions in my E:mail to the camp site.
Lets hope the dogs are either later or elsewhere.
But that was the first time we have encountered dogs.
ohhh it's not too far from us, what's the festival like ? not really my OH's cup of tea but would be nice for the kids to see some bands...we went to the highland games here last year and that was really lovely
If you Google "Open DE Brass Bands De France Amboise" you will get links to previous years festivals.
When you say its not far from you I assume you live near ?
Cause all of our kids will be at School.
Amboise :- Small French town on the banks of the Loire with a rather grand Chateau and Leanardo Da Vinci's house, plus Troglodites.
Huge riverside Sunday market.
From Saturday morning the Town is full of Brass Bands competing on the march and in the theatre. They also rotate around the town venues playing at various points.
Its a weekend full of free entertainment. Fantastic if you appreciate Brass Band music.
You might get get Breton Pipes but no Bagpipes (similar) definitely no caber tossing.
thanks, I'll look into it, the site looks nice and if we don't go for the weekend i'll put it on my *getaway for a weekend* list...
We live about 2 hours southish of Amboise so we're lucky its easily do-able in a weekend.
Just had a quick look a their webpage.... 300 pitches...
I'm guessing that booking isn't necessary at that time of year ... a previous MHF informal meet on 09 coincided with a dog show ... despite the numbers there was no shortage of pitches.
We have been to Amboise several times and never had problems yet.
When Ken and Jenny organised a meet they tried to advance book but couldn't. About 20 off us got in with acres to spare even when we shared with the Dog Show.
The site is a must if you are into Hot Air Balloons. Early morning and evening.
I did Email the site but have not had a reply.
To find Breton Pipes just look for a Festival in Brittany.
A fantastic sound and worth the experience.
In general music festivals/ weekends occur all over France throughout the summer they are an absolute hoot following the Eric Morcambe music principle "the right notes but not in the right order".
