Answer 1

Here's a site you might find helpful:  

"Over 5,000 French festivals in France: fairs, concerts, markets, tradeshows, competitions, fetes, expositions, wine, and other cultural events throughout France; search our festival, fair, and concert database in English or French, by date, region, and category. "

Answer 2

Festival de Cannes

Answer 3

There is something called 'Fête de la Musique' which is country-wide and a pretty big deal. The closing event in Paris is televised. Also it's a fairly new thing so no tons of history to get through.

Answer 4

How about Bastille Day? It embodies celebration, food, history, politics and a national holiday to boot. Good luck with your project.

Answer 5

I agree that the Fete de la musique would be a good one-
