Francophonik is a cool new service to help Francophiles and music fans keep up to date with French travel and entertainment news. I’ve just discovered Francophonik but wish I had known about a few week’s ago when I booked a trip to Brittany (going next week – and, don’t worry, there’ll be plenty more about my Breton exploits coming up soon). Whether you’re into sport, art, going to gigs and concerts or you’re just keen to find out about interesting destinations in France and affordable travel options, Francophonik is definitely worth having a look at. All ya gotta do is become a fan of the official Francophonik Facebook page and then you’re set to learn about the latest French music, get free music downloads, be part of an online community and become eligible to win tickets and packages to French music gigs in the UK and festivals in France. C’est une nouvelle merveilleuse, no?
Now’s a brilliant time to check ’em out too. Francophonik’s latest competition, in conjunction with travel company Eurolines, offers freebie tix up to the Rock en Seine Festival. Only 10k from Paris, the festival runs from Friday the 26th to Sunday he 28th of August and features big acts like the Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, Interpol, The Kills, The Vaccines, Lykke Li, Tinie Tempah and more.
For a chance to win the Rock en Seine package, simply visit the Francophonik Facebook page, “like it” and then apply for tickets by ticking a box. Easy peasy, and the prize – a trip to France combined with a festival boasting a top notch line-up – is pretty awesome. Bonne chance!
