FETE DE LA MUSIQUE - June 21st - France

Tuesday, June 21st, is Fête de la Musique day in France, but the festivities normally start up a few days beforehand with free street concerts everywhere. One year we saw Joan Baez singing on a stage set up at the Place de la Concorde in Paris!

To celebrate this festive occasion, we will send you and the other member(s) of your barging party a gift for any French hotel barge booking taking place in June 2011 (either a cabin booking or a private whole-barge charter)... See our iPod Shuffle Giveaway post for details!
