The annual festival started in France in 1982, initiated by then French Minister of Culture Jake Lang.
Speaking at the event, HVFFA President Nguyen Thi Ngoc Dung said the French music festival has been held in more than 120 countries worldwide, including Vietnam, as the country is a member of the International Organisation of the Francophonie.

The festival featured performances in various genres, including rock, pop, rap, jazz and classical music.
