Presentation

At low tide, the monument offers a musical and sung interlude on the theme of the sea.

Enjoy a moment of complicity, between sky and sea, from the top of this unique viewpoint that is the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel. The only balcony overlooking the whole bay, the abbey is also a panoramic observatory. The bays in the cloister offer a host of views from Cancale to the Pointe de Champeaux.

For the duration of this day, experience the alliance of a playful, energetic and complicit universe, with the Why Notes quartet!

Why Notes

Take four long-time friends, a dose of complicity and an irrepressible desire to share French chanson: you get Why Notes.

Far from the beaten track, this quartet revisits the nuggets of our musical heritage with infectious energy. From the travelled poetry of Aznavour (Emmenez-moi) to the festive gouaille of La Rue Kétanou (Ma faute à toi), Why Notes builds a bridge between eras. On stage, the band don't just play notes: they tell stories and invite the audience to join in the dance. Why Notes? For pleasure, for sharing, and above all... because it's obvious.

Composition of the group : 
Kevin Rayon : Vocals & guitar
Isabelle Moteley : Vocals
Georges Moteley : Percussions
