Summer in the park with great tunes, champagne and French fare, that’s So Frenchy, So Chic in the Park.
As part of the Sydney Festival, So Frenchy, So Chic in the Park is coming to Sydney with a line-up of France’s most renowned musicians.
“It’s a picnic in the park. People come, lay on the grass, get a picnic hamper, buy a bottle of champagne or wine and listen to music all afternoon,” says Jean-Francois Ponthieux, director of the event and Cartell Music.
“There’s four bands coming from France. They’re all at the top of their game. They’ve all got platinum sales, so when they get up onstage they know what they’re doing,” he continues.
The So Frenchy, So Chic in the Park line-up is Lou Doillon, Féfé, Lilly Wood & the Prick and Babylon Circus.
“Babylon Circus is like the Cat Empire on speed. They played at WOMAD in 2010 and they really rocked the stage,” Ponthieux says.
There’s a range of French cuisine and wine available and other activities.
“We’ve got imported wine from France, we have activities for kids, we partner with a caterer in Sydney and have French-inspired picnic hampers,” says Ponthieux. (PG)
