La Folle Journée de Nantes 2027: where to stay

La Folle Journée de Nantes returns from 27 to 31 January 2027 for its 33rd edition, a festival built to tear down the barriers around classical music. For five days the Cité des Congrès in Nantes turns into a maze of stages hosting short concerts, relaxed formats and wallet-friendly tickets. The event has become a winter fixture in the city, mixing well-known repertoire with discoveries, international soloists and rising talents. Accessibility is a core part of the concept, with affordable pricing, adapted materials and dedicated seating for visitors with reduced mobility. If you are planning to attend, the venue sits a short walk from the city centre along the river, and Nantes has hotels across every category. Book early: the festival draws a large crowd and the box office opens on 5 December 2026 at 9:00.
