Rock en Seine
The Hives at Rock en Seine 2007
The Rock en Seine festival (French pronunciation: [ʁɔk ɑ̃ sɛːn]) 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 (the river separating Saint-Cloud from Central Paris after which the Hauts-de-Seine département is called).
