“Guitars at the Gré du Loir makes it a point of honor to keep its very daring bet to transform
Vendôme, over the years, in “world center of the guitar”.

Throughout the Festival, several free events will follow one another in town, a master class for young guitarists from the region in April, a violin-making exhibition in May and the giant guitar for the pleasure of the eyes.
