Vietnamese culture, handicraft products attract visitors at Paris Fair

Vietnamese businesses are taking part in the Foire de Paris (Paris Fair) in the capital of France, a showcase of culture and food from around the world that runs from May 1-12.

They brought to the fair a range of items including traditional handicrafts, silk products, processed fruits and Vietnamese banh mi (baguette), which have made Vietnam's pavilions outstanding and attractive to visitors.

A special lion dance performance along with traditional performances by Vietnamese artists also attracted the attention of audience here.

The Paris fair offers an opportunity for participating countries, including Vietnam, to introduce their traditional crafts, helping their handicraft items shine to the French public.

To help businesses from Vietnam, the Vietnamese Culture Centre in France has coordinated with domestic enterprises to popularize the diverse culture of the Southeast Asian country. And this was highly appreciated by organizers.

The Paris Fair is the biggest in France for family space, cuisine, creativity, and traditional crafts. Organizers expect this year's event, with 1,250 booths, to attract about 400,000 visitors./.
