Once again, the French Weeks festival was a great success!
This year was special because we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the French Weeks, and had the great pleasure of receiving a delegation from Marseille! The Marseille mission counted over 100 people from various industry sectors.
Twenty events were organized by the FACC and its partners between October 26th and November 9th. Like the previous years, the objective was to highlight French industry, culture and savoir-faire. During the French Taste and French Style weeks, more than 40 restaurants, hair salons, stylists, sports centers and spa participated, offering discounts and special promotions.
Events ranged from conferences, round tables, cocktails, art shows, a wine tasting class, a cooking contest ... In light of this tenth anniversary, our partners and sponsors were fully implicated in the festival and speakers delivered top-notch conferences, captivating audiences.
The FACC team would like to take the time to thank our sponsors for their continued support! This event was also possible through the contributions of our partners, who all played a part in bringing the festival to life.
See you all next year for a new edition of French Weeks Miami!
