\"Vienne
A dramatic setting for an outdoor jazz festival is the Roman amphitheatre  (one of the biggest in Europe) at Vienne which hosts the main acts, which in 2016  included Imelda May, Esperanza Spalding, Earth Wind and Fire, Chic, Erik Truffaz, a tribute to Django Reinhardt, Diana Krall, Lisa Simone and Brad Mehldau. There are smaller venues around Vienne such as the Garden of Cybele (Jardin de Cyb\u00e8le<\/em>), another Roman ruin, which offers music throughout the day and workshops for aspiring musicians – The garden, built in the heart of the city, retains a double arcade and limestone walls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
