Festival Les Francophonides at PARC JEAN DE LA FONTAINE

From the moment gates open at PARC JEAN DE LA FONTAINE, Festival Les Francophonides transforms our open-air setting into a vibrant celebration of francophone creativity. As the host venue, we curate an experience where music and community meet under the canopy of trees and open skies, with a sound system tuned to the contours of the park and sightlines designed so every attendee feels close to the stage. Our team has prepared the grounds to welcome a large, intergenerational audience in comfort: wide lawns for lounging, shaded promenades for strolling between sets, and a carefully mapped flow to keep movement easy and intuitive. Expect a convivial, festival-sized production—thoughtful lighting, crisp visuals, and an atmosphere that embraces both the intimacy of chanson and the energy of contemporary pop—matched by hospitality that reflects the warm spirit of the city around us.

Artistic momentum and the pulse of today’s francophone sound

Festival Les Francophonides arrives at PARC JEAN DE LA FONTAINE with the electricity of the season’s francophone releases still resonating across playlists and airwaves. The program channels a panorama of styles—from elegant, lyric-forward storytelling to stadium-ready anthems—mirroring a year rich in new voices and fresh chapters for established acts. You will hear the influence of recent chart moments and critical favorites, with songs that have come to define the moment such as Mon amour, La symphonie des éclairs, Le Hall des départs, Un jour je marierai un ange, Dépassé, Secret, and Évidemment echoing through the park’s natural amphitheater. The performance design invites these contemporary currents into a live dialogue: dynamic arrangements that bring intimate verses closer, percussion that breathes on outdoor stages, and instrumental color that lets strings, synths, and brass cut clearly through the summer air. Between sets, the festival spirit continues along the paths of PARC JEAN DE LA FONTAINE, where conversations, discoveries, and spontaneous singalongs turn individual songs into shared memories. Whether you come for the emotional lift of a ballad, the pulse of a late-evening banger, or the pleasure of rediscovering a favorite hook in the company of thousands, our stage is prepared to deliver it with presence and precision.
