QUICK: iPod Shuffle Giveaway - French hotel barge cruises June 2011

QUICK, there's still time to take advantage of our iPod Shuffle Giveaway for our clients booking a French Hotel Barge cruise taking place in the month of June 2011... Some barges have some great deals for June, see our previous blog post concerning special offers.

You're going to miss Fête de la Musique day (June 21st) which is one of our favorite French holidays, although you can do this at home: download some French Music (see below), buy a baguette, some brie, a bit of paté, and perhaps a bottle of Pastis to wash it down :)

Confirm your June 2011 French hotel barge cruise and get a FREE 2GB iPod Shuffle... or two... or three... or four... or more...

We'll send each person in your party (whether a cabin booking of 2, or a private charter booking for 12, for example) a handy gift to enjoy on your barging vacation...

Don't let it's tiny size fool you. With this 2GB player, you can pack up to 500 songs... That should do you for a week!

The latest generation of iPod Shuffle allows you to use playlists so you can use this feature to organize your French language lessons, and French music from A to Z, such as:

Antoine, Charles Aznavour, Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Brel, Patrick Bruel, Maurice Chevalier, Mylène Farmer, Claude François, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Serge Gainsbourg, Johnny Hallyday, Indochine, Kassav, Claudine Longet, Eddy Mitchell, Vanessa Paradis, Édith Piaf, Sheila, Téléphone, Zouzou.

This offer is good for any Paradise Connection booking for a French barging vacation taken in June 2011. It might be a bit of a rush to arrange a last-minute charter for next week (June 26-July2), but we CAN do it... If you ask nicely, we might even extend our offer for a Bastille-week charter (July 10-16)...

We hope you'll be able to take advantage of this special offer from us at Paradise Connections.

 Enjoy!
