Music fans will be able to add some memorable entertainment to their Paris trips this year by visiting the Saint-Germain-des-Pres Jazz Festival.

Organisers of the festival have already announced some of the artists who will be performing this year, with Mirabassi-Renzi-Parker, Andre Ceccarelli and Diane Tell all set to appear.

Visitors will also be treated to a gig by French accordionist Richard Galliano and keyboard player Jean-Pierre Como, among others.

All sorts of musical genres will be showcased at the festival, from traditional and experimental jazz to blues and boogie-woogie.

The event also provides the opportunity to see the Saint-Germain-des-Pres area of Paris, which is famous for its associations with intellectuals such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.

One of the district's most popular attractions is a church that dates back to the sixth century AD.
