If you love France but can’t travel this fall, France is coming to New York! Meant to be ‘the biggest event in the world dedicated to France ever organized abroad,’ Best of France is coming to Times Square with over 200 exhibits, organized in small villages, such as “Rendez-vous en France” on tourism, beauty & fashion, food, and performing arts. There will even be Moulin Rouge dancers making their New York debut.

Read the French Morning link to learn about the event. By the way, they need hundreds of volunteers to help with the event. They are also looking for children ages 5-7 to model French fashions. Email casting@bestoffrance.org to get your child involved. Click on the links provided below for a little help making your travel arrangements.

See you in New York!
