France and Acadian communities are linked by both a centuries of history and deep attachment to the French language. Today, this history of friendship continues and is renewed: the participation of France in the fifth Congrès mondial acadien in the month of August 2014 demonstrates its commitment to these relationships and his desire to continue to share all subjects, whether cultural, economic or focus on French language.

Acadia is not a territory with defined borders, it is located where the Acadians and its culture shines, wheterit is  in Louisiana as well as in Quebec, New England, Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, the Caribbean or in France ...

So it is with great enthusiasm that we responded present to the call of the organizers of the Congress, by establishing a France Pavilion at the ExpoMONDE in Grand Falls. The exhibition space will allow us to present the best of France in its diversity and in its relationship with Acadia. We wanted this wealth is expressed through the work of many actors: cities, counties, communities and overseas departments, the Consulate General of France in Moncton which celebrates its fiftieth anniversary and of course the civil society in all forms.
