International Pole : Around the World in 90 minutes ! ....Marrakech – Quebec in 15 minutes… yes, it can be done: in the International Area!

Passports at the ready for a globe-trotting adventure, with 180 exhibitors from 35 different nations. From Peru to China, via Italy and Syria, this is your chance to encounter cultures and traditions from all over the world.

This year we’re setting sail for unfamiliar shores as the International Area welcomes first-time exhibitors from the Comoros, Argentina and Senegal.

Once again the show offers a succession of exotic destinations, with new treasures revealed at every port of call – including, for example, Aleppo soap (like traditional Marseille soap) from Syria and maca from Peru’s Junín region, cultivated for its medicinal properties.

For connoisseurs of global cuisine, the “Conviviales du Monde” area offers a gastronomic adventure featuring four restaurants (Indian, Caribbean, Russian and Moroccan). Tandoori Chicken, Pork Colombo, Beef Stroganoff and “Gazelle horn” pastries – there’s something here for everyone!
