Renault staged an event and invited European bloggers to a weekend in Slovenia to discover the new Twingo.

Renault conceived a huge event to launch the new model of the famous Renault Twingo. Besides a campaign in collaboration with the agency Public Système, Renault called upon BuzzParadise’s expertise to select around twenty European bloggers. Hélène, Raphaëlle and Sandrine from team Renault were present, as were Vicky and Nils who represented BuzzParadise.

Here is a general survey of these “27 crazy hours”, as summarized Julien, one of the French participants of the operation. Invited free of charge by Renault, Ferran and Julia (Spain), Tom (Switzerland), Giorgio and Stefano (Italy), Sara and Allan (UK), Raphaël, Osmany, Julien , Florian and Géraldine (France), Katja, Gregor, Masa, Had, Miha, Marko and Jonas (Slovenia) listened to a car presentation before testing it for one hour.

Impressed by the Twingo, a passer-by asked the bloggers about it and they suggested lending it to him for a few minutes…

The test drive took them to Lake Bled, where the view is staggering, according to the bloggers!

To continue this wonderful day, the guests went to a design shop called Id-Doma for a gourmet lunch made by the Chef Eric (who has got a French restaurant in Ljubljana). Some Slovenian artists presented their work before and after the tasting.

Then, a little drink in the city centre on a pavement area next to the river. When the tavern closed, our bloggers were still fresh and dynamic. Bostjan (the guide) drove them to a disco called the Global to have fun until the morning.

The next morning the bloggers visited the youth hostel Celica (a former prison), that is now an artistic and cultural centre with tags and sculptures decorating the walls of the buildings. A typically Slovenian brunch was offered in little lounge room adapted to the bloggers’ rest.

According to the protagonists of this beautiful adventure, it was an unforgettable weekend, exciting and relaxing. 2007 is really the year of the happy union between Renault and European bloggers.
