A scene from Rock-en-Seine 2010 by Sylvain Sechet.

The Rock-en-Seine Festival is a 3-day rock music festival and starts today. It is held at Domaine National de Saint-Cloud, the Chateau de Saint-Cloud’s Park, west of Paris, inside the garden designed by Andre Le Notre. This year marks the 13th year for the festival.

Think of it as Woodstock with a French accent. Three days of music. Camping for 3-day package ticket holders (which, according to my information, are sold out). In 2014, the festival had 5 stages with 65 bands split among them; 110,000 spectators attended in 2013.

The closest subway station is Boulogne-Pont de Saint-Cloud, 5 minutes away from the venue. To get information about the festival, follow it on Twitter @rockenseine.

Salut!
