Gregoire Maret live in Peillon

Experience Gregoire Maret live on July 5th

Gregoire Maret is a Swiss-born, New York-based harmonica player and composer known for his distinctive blend of jazz, blues, and world music influences. His style frequently incorporates improvisation and showcases a lyrical approach to the harmonica, often compared to vocal phrasing. He has collaborated with artists across diverse genres, including Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt, and Meshell Ndegeocello, and released several critically acclaimed albums as a leader.

The concert will take place at the Peillon Viewpoint (Point de Vue de Peillon) in Peillon, France. This location is historically significant as a medieval fortified village perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Roya Valley. Originally established in the Middle Ages, Peillon served as a strategic defensive position controlling access to the valley. The viewpoint itself offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and is recognized for its preserved architecture including narrow streets and stone houses characteristic of the region’s heritage. The site has become increasingly known for hosting cultural events leveraging its unique setting and historical atmosphere. The area is part of the Alpes-Maritimes department in southeastern France.
