Next edition in 2024
During the day, the castle of la Roche, dating from the XNUMXthe century, charms you with its theatrical tours and challenges you with its two escape game rooms. Summer quarters nicely complement these activities. At a time when the sun is declining on the horizon, the Château de la Roche becomes enchanting to the rhythm of soft and pleasant music.
Every weekend in July and August, the castle, famous heritage of Roannais, brings together a loyal “music-loving” audience. The public, installed on the grass or on chairs in the heart of the open-air theater, appreciates the bistro atmosphere. The “aperitif boxes” must be reserved in advance.
The COPY, organizer of summer quarters, organized 130 concerts and reunites 17000 spectators.
The Château de la Roche, a magical place
Anchored on a rocky peak since the XNUMXth centurye century, the Château de la Roche is located in Saint-Priest-la-Roche. This fortress is the emblematic monument of the Gorges de la Loire, due to its improbable location overlooking the river.
The history of summer quarters
The desire for this event arises from the desire to combine musical discovery and the conviviality of the aperitif. Thus, on a nicely furnished terrace with round tables, parasols and paper lanterns, the public sips a drink while enjoying, live, the talent of the various guest groups. From song to jazz through world music, the key words of the programming are quality and diversity.
Since its inception, the event has evolved and the gauge has increased. Initially, the concerts were organized on the terrace of the castle. Today the concerts take place on the banks to satisfy a larger audience.

Marion's opinion
On the banks of the Loire, sitting on the grass, all my senses are exhilarating, I listen to Sanseveniro. His rhythmic poetry to the sound of his guitar captivates me. In the background a castle rising from the water, it gives the impression of being on an island. Surrounded by the Loire, he falls asleep to the gypsy sound of the French singer.
These meetings are convivial moments where you can get together over a drink and a good musical moment with family or friends, just 30 kilometers from the city of Roanne. The choice of guest artists follows two watchwords: eclecticism and quality. COPLER offers new programming each year, from French song to jazz, Welsh music and hip-hop, everyone will be able to offer new sounds to their ears! A word of advice: reserve your place in advance to be sure to participate in a summer neighborhood!
