The Foire de Paris will be opening its gates from 30 April to 10 May 2009, with the theme of “encounters”.
On the agenda: encounters with people from diverse horizons, different cultures, all-new products, innovative solutions, and above all dancing encounters, with theme-based balls and free dancing lessons including salsa, rock’n’roll, the waltz and line dancing.
In the Home section, the Foire is brimming with creative flair, with a roundup of the kitchens of tomorrow, thanks to the projects put forward by some twenty students from highly reputed design schools; the Innovation award and its previews of nifty domestic appliances; not forgetting free consultations with the Order of Architects in the Paris region, and for home makeovers, with the interior design coaching team from the French TV programme Intérieurs.
In the Free Time section, the Foire de Paris invites its visitors to check out and yield to the temptation of all the latest new products from the relaxation and well-being sector, crafty products and new digital devices.
Lastly, in the World Culture section, aside from the Tropiques en fête festival and its 50 free concerts, the Australian pavilion putting on tasting sessions of Aboriginal specialities to the sound of the didgeridoo, or the Uruguayan pavilion and its arts and crafts using ostrich eggs and amethysts, the French amateur cooking federation also has an attention-grabbing stand with Chefs and workshops, games and lessons, taking on the task of tickling the taste buds of the 670,000 visitors expected this year!
Works councils are celebrating spring!
