People say the Parisians are reserved. They’re too pre-occupied with keeping their Gallic cool to let their hair down and have fun.
Well those people have clearly never been to the Paris Techno Parade.
Picture the scene: 400,000 people; a 3 mile route; and twenty floats with 150 musicians on them all blaring out techno music. It is an unbelievable festival of all things techno and electro.
The event forms part of the Rendez-vous électroniques (Electronic Festival) and attracts 400,000 hardcore party goers. Top DJs entertain the crowds with their mixing skills and decibel-defying sound systems. And it is a sensational party.
Maybe some people don’t get techno music; but listening to techno is very much about who you’re with. With thousands of other people going mental around you the parade is just a giant street party with everybody having a great rave.
Best of all it’s free and it lets you see what Parisians are really like, as well as being part of an amazing weekend in Paris. The Paris Techno Parade is a must for anyone, regardless of your musical preferences. Because ultimately, it’s just a massive party.
The Paris Techno Parade 2009 is on the 19th September.
