HIFI PIG JOINED FRENCH HIFI BRAND TOTALDAC IN PARIS FOR A DAY OF MUSIC ON THE RIVER

Regular readers will recall that last year we had the fantastic opportunity to attend the Totaldac launch of their d100 loudspeakers on a yacht on the river Seine in Paris, during the Paris Audio Video Show 2021.

This September we were invited back by Vincent from Totaldac, for another event, along with some of Totaldac’s customer from France and further afield.

PARIS BY NIGHT

It was a lovely day, with the Clipper yacht moored at the Quai de Grenelle during the afternoon, with the chance to listen to music in the lounge downstairs and eat crepes in the sunshine, cooked by Vincent’s wife Delphine.

Delphine of Totaldac is a woman of many talents!

Christian Basset, how much more French could this get?

We then set sail on an evening cruise with accordion music on the deck from Christian Basset, champagne and food aplenty, taking in the illuminated sites of a Parisian evening.
