Coup de cœur francophone is a festival of French-language music held in Montreal, Canada, from November 7 to 12, 2026. It brings together a lineup of emerging and established francophone artists, and the performances take place in intimate venues across the city rather than in one large arena.
What to expect
- Concerts by French-speaking musicians, from newer voices to more established names
- Smaller, close-up venues spread through the city, so you move between neighbourhoods as you go
- A week-long programme that suits a short city break in early November
Why visit
The festival suits anyone curious about Quebec's French-language music scene, and it is a natural match for visitors already planning to explore Montreal. Because the shows are spread across venues, the event gives you a reason to wander the city, discover places you might not otherwise find, and experience its cultural life from the inside.
If you enjoy listening to music in a relaxed, intimate setting and like the idea of building your trip around a festival, Coup de cœur francophone is worth considering for a November visit to Montreal.
