Paris Hosts Music Festival in May 2012: Villette Sonique Festival

    LONDON, ENGLAND, May 20, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Located in the Parc de la Villette, the Villette Sonique Festival offers a fresh take on the latest musical trends with new and interesting performances in an exquisite setting.

The Villette Sonique Festival is the perfect excuse for a quick getaway to Paris as the event also includes workshops for children and other activities on a smaller more intimate scale not usually associated with some of the larger music festivals in France. Many hotels in Paris will provide a more than convenient launch pad from which to see the show and the rest of the city.

The festival itself goes on for several days at the end of May and includes an eclectic mix of musical genres. From rock to hip-hop, even experimental musicians get the chance to share the stage with some major stars from the international music scene.

Despite maintaining its independent status as a music festival, Villette Sonique has experienced huge popularity in just a few short years. With a clear focus on new and evolving music the commitment to keeping the show fresh and unique each year has made it one of the most anticipated festivals on the French musical calendar.

For those looking to travel to Paris in time for the concert, the first day is officially May 22nd, with the last day of performances being May 27th. Flights from London are frequent and affordable so that should certainly not hold you back from enjoying this relatively new and increasingly popular musical experience.
