What to expect at The France Show 2009

The France Show 2009 is the French property and lifestyle exhibition of the year. It kick-starts the exhibition calendar with its celebratory atmosphere and huge crowds that will descend upon Earl`s Court in early January.

Over 23,000 people have secured free tickets in an offer that finishes on 30 November 2008. The success of this offer, coupled with the news that the Telegraph Media Group will be the show’s official media partner securing over £400,000 of media space, guarantees it will be a show to remember.

The number of exhibitors looking to book space has also been very positive considering the current economic climate; with 36 new companies booking space and 57 increasing their pitch size on last year.

Britain’s favourite French chef Jean-Christophe Novelli will be conjuring up some gastronomic delights during his live cookery demonstrations. See his exclusive Christmas recipe videos on the France Show website now at: http://www.thefranceshow.com/foodandwine-details.aspx?id=180

From renovation projects and farmhouses to a Parisian penthouse, there will be something for everyone in the Property section, with hundreds of agents and developers ready to give expert advice.

Other features at the show range from TV5Monde hosting a free mini-theatre with a large screen 35 seat cinema, to top French restaurant and bar, Café des Amis bringing its chic brasserie style and caricature artists creating memorable sketches to take home.
