Finally, what if two empty years without a Fair Expo were worthwhile? The decline in financial income was a problem, with the event generating about 9 million euros in direct and indirect economic collapse. But during this time the Destination Nancy teams were allowed to review their approach to the Expo while retaining its basics. After all, the sauce had to be set in four months!

Gastronomy and performers

Like, sometimes, working in a hurry allows you to get into action and therefore think less about the obvious. Once inside the Vandovre Exhibition Center, the atmosphere has changed since this Friday. The ants worked hard in the hallways and halls. The joy of being reassembled for assembly, lighting, tests, and colleagues for two years is lost … obviously the stress one sometimes feels a few hours before opening is no part of it.

In Hall B, the Place du Bagout and its performers formed, an area dedicated to gastronomy a few meters away. A hall that offers excellent animation like D with ephemeral events and other animations. Of course, Lego® space, with its gigantic statues, motorcycles and playgrounds, must quickly find its followers. Outside, like the Goblin Cave and Fest Park, it is dedicated to the youngest.

Animations and immersions

Beautiful heads who can spend time at the Educational Farm in G Hall and in C Hall with the world’s artisans at a thematic exhibition. For this 86th edition, Ireland is the center of attention … a real land of legends. There, the visitor crosses King Arthur’s Merlin Road and lives in complete immersion, sharing in the sweets of Irish life, its colorful alleys and shops. To most observers, they may finally join hands on the Holy Grail … After all, this Irish Stroll can be done with the family, with different levels of reading that allow all generations to enjoy this moment.

Like the fair, it is a show that transforms the visitor into an actor with the experience of being present in every hall at every turn. On the outdoor terraces, another trademark of the Foyer de Nancy, among other things, is the appearance of its food-truck space, its catering, its farm machinery, its cars or its mobile homes.

Kickoff this Saturday at 10am. Kyo’s concert in Hall E, an opening day with a high point confirming the revival of the Expo Fair.
