Rock en Seine


The Rock en Seine festival is a three-day rock music festival, held at Domaine National de Saint-Cloud, the Château de Saint-Cloud's park, west of Paris, inside the garden designed by André Le Nôtre.

Name

The name is a pun, based on exactly the same pronunciation in French of the words scène meaning stage and Seine.

History

On 12 May 2020, it was announced to that the 2020 edition of the festival would be cancelled because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Previous years

The festival takes place in the down of the Park of "Domaine national de Saint-Cloud", a historical place at the gates of Paris, and 5 minutes from the nearest subway station métro Boulogne - Pont de Saint-Cloud.
The park and the garden were designed by Le Nôtre in the 17th century, and it is the first park to be classed as a Monument historique in 1994. It is a 4.6 km² park, and there are gardens and forest with basins, thickets, cascades, and statues.

Avant-Seine

In 2005, for its third edition, and with the support of Ile-de-France, Rock en Seine inaugurated “Avant-Seine”, a selection of bands from Ile-de-France which join the official programming of the festival. Every year, six selected groups are playing on a stage, and one of their tracks is published on a compilation spread for free.
