# Primavera de Bourges

La Primavera de Bourges (en francés: Printemps de Bourges) es un festival de música que se celebra cada mes de abril desde 1977 en Bourges (Cher). Se trata de uno de los festivales más antiguos de Francia.

## Historia

La iniciativa es obra de tres personas del medio del espectáculo: el director de la Maison de la Culture, Jean Christophe Dechico, Alain Meilland, cantante y comediante, y Daniel Colling, un agente. Este festival quiso primero establecerse en Berruyers, que solamente con los años lo lamentará al ver el interés y la animación que suscita. Así cada primavera, millares de espectadores llegan a las salas y bajo las carpas berruyers. 80 espectáculos, 200 artistas en una docena de lugares en una semana de los géneros musicales más diversos. Le Printemps se enorgullece de poseer también un festival off, un verdadero festival bis que cada año reúne a centenares de artistas de la calle. Bourges, es también un trampolín para los artistas jóvenes, y un conjunto de actividades culturales de gran importancia: cine, literatura, encuentros de todo tipo.
