The Alps form the backdrop for the music at Bluegrass in La Roche in eastern France. (Photo by Emmanuel Marin) The crowd filed into the festival grounds at this year’s Bluegrass in La Roche in eastern France as the hot August sun began to set, offering a little relief to festivalgoers. The band Blue Weed, from Italy, was wrapping up their first song on the main stage. This annual event, held in the quaint town of La Roche-sur-Foron, nestled in the Auvergne-Rhone region of the Alps between Annecy and Geneva, has become Europe’s largest and most important bluegrass festival, attended by more than 11,000 people over four days. Looking west across the festival grounds, a stone tower dominates the skyline, a remnant of a castle destroyed centuries ago in a battle between a duke of Savoy and a count of Geneva. Between sets on two stages, attendees line up for burgers, hot dogs, jambalaya, chili, spit-roasted pork, and a French dish of pasta and reblochon cheese called croziflette. There’s also beer, wine, and a champagne bar.
