Medieval Concert and Museum

While Heidi Pintner Alvarez was here for the flute festival, we decided to check out the Museum because there was a medieval flute and harp concert, which turned out to be the most worthwhile experience ever!

Pierre Hamon and all of his flutes
The concert was performed by the medieval duo, Alla Francesca, Pierre Hamon on flutes and Brigette Lesne, harp and chant. Check out the video below for a sample of their music.




Their playing recalls the music of the time period heard in Dukes and kings courts.

Here is another video of just Pierre playing a double flute

Musée de Moyen Age

For those of you who have dreamed to come to Paris and capture her soul or for those of you who live in Paris and want to experience her history, check out the Musée de Moyen Age, located just a few steps away from busy Saint Michel.

Many of the most famous tapestries can be found in the museum such as the "Woman and the Unicorn", or as I call it the "Mona Lisa of Tapestries".




Students get in for free, the concerts cost only 4 euros and other people are 6 euros for museum entry and 6 euros for the concerts. Free first Sunday of the Month for all.
