The festival, co-organized by the embassy and the Hanoi People’s Committee, is the biggest of its kind so far with more than 70 booths to be set up at Thong Nhat Park, Hanoi. Festival goers will have an opportunity to watch chefs perform and to explore French cuisine and agricultural products, such as dairy products, chocolate, bread, cheese, cold cuts, fruits, and wine.
A 300 square meter area simulating a sports village will be reserved to demonstrate sport activities to promote the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Visitors can try out several popular Olympic sports, such as basketball, football, archery, badminton, and table tennis.
A street dance festival called “Balade en France – All in One 2024” will be held as part of the event with the participation of French language schools in Hanoi.
