I recently attended The France Show, held annually in London – an exhibition of all things French: flavors of wines and foods, language, iconic products, cancan dancers (video below), travel options, regions of France, properties in France, financial experts, and much more!
Bien sûr, there was an accordian player playing iconic French songs, a boules court, and a huge variety of exhibition stands to visit. Seminars to attend included wine theaters, language presentations, property and tax information, and cooking demonstrations by a Michelin-starred chef.
As I walked around looking at the various culturally-iconic stands, I felt pride and gratitude for living in France, realizing nonetheless that nowhere is perfect.
I also saw the city’s main attractions from the top of a double-decker bus (what else?) and experienced dining in the local pubs, with menu items of “bangers and mash” and “bubble and squeak” (yes, I had to ask too!)
Attending The France Show and enjoying the English atmosphere of London was truly a “Franglish” weekend!

A trip to London for “the France show” and all things French? Why not? Once upon a time I moved there with a plan to learn French!
Great fun and networking opportunity, as well!
i love these festivals, they are great to visit!
Yes, great to have everything available in one location, not to mention entertainment too. Merci for commenting.
