Event
Information:
The
Rock en Seine festival is a two or
three-day Rock 'n roll festival,
held at Domaine National de
Saint-Cloud, Château de
Saint-Cloud's park just outside
Paris, inside the garden designed by
Le Nôtre. It is the festival at
which Oasis split up on the 28th
August 2009 after Liam and Noel
Gallagher had a fight just before
they were due to headline the main
stage. The name is a pun, based on
the similar pronunciation in French
of the words scène and Seine (the
river separating Saint-Cloud from
Paris after which département Hauts-de-Seine
is called).
The
festival takes place in the down of
the Park of "Domaine national de
Saint-Cloud", it's a magic and
historic 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, was designed by
Le Nôtre in the 17th century, and
it's 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.
The
Château de Saint-Cloud was a Palace
in France, built on a magnificent
site overlooking the Seine at
Saint-Cloud in Hauts-de-Seine, about
10 kilometres west of Paris. Today
it is a large park on the outskirts
of the capital and is owned by the
state, but the area as a whole has
had a large part to play in the
history of France. The castle's
grounds are part of today's Parc de
Saint-Cloud. The château was
expanded by Phillipe de France, duc
d'Orléans in the 17th century, and
finally enlarged by Marie Antoinette
in the 1780s. After occupation by
Napoleon I and Napoleon III, the
château was destroyed in 1870,
during the Franco-Prussian War.
