Franco Fans reviews Alysce

[GOOGLE TRANSLATION ]

After a first Ep noticed released in 2017, and pending the release of an album in late 2020, Alysce  presents a surprising new video, shot with his father on the guitar and his brother on the bass. Alysce has already won the Grand Zebrock 2018, she also won the France Bleu trophy, where was in the final of the Georges Moustaki Award … In other words, the female singer-songwriter has a silky voice to follow! Audacious, she is one of those who dare to leave the comfort zone … With her guitar and accomplice jazz influences, she does not hesitate to play dissonances, ups and downs of scales, to hit by its sharp rhythms … To hear her challenges us, to listen to him holds us back. Alysce will be in concert on December 3rd at the Conservatoire du Perreux sur Marne auditorium.

Hiking the Calanques: Port Pin and d’En-Vau 

This hike is probably the most popular and most accessible hike in the Calanques region, visiting the two closest inlets to Cassis. The first at Port Pin is relatively easy for non-hikers and families with small children. The second inlet at d’En-Vau is a bit more work with a slippery, rocky trail. Both very beautiful and give you a good taste of the region. This area is also very crowded, so expect full trails and lots of people crammed into the small beaches.Note: In summer, this area is often closed to hikers for fire risk. Check the trail status here the day before your visit. Sometimes they close the trail after a certain number of guests enter the park, so best to go early or visit in early spring or late fall.
