From its copper spiral staircase \u2013 a nod to the Japanese legend of the \u201cred string of fate\u201d, to the classical sculptures of embracing figures, the theme of this pavilion is clear from the outset. With the tagline \u201cA hymn to love\u201d, the pavilion encourages us to love ourselves, others, and nature as the key to a new vision of the future.<\/p>\n<p>Wind your way up the entrance stairs into a stunning space of glittering LED lights. Their pulsations form the heartbeat of the pavilion. What follows is a love letter to France\u2019s rich history of craftmanship and cutting edge design. Fashion lovers will delight in the exhibits of Louis Vitton\u2019s trademark suitcases and replicas of the iconic Dior Bar suit in red, white, and blue.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/france-pavilion-trunk-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65813\"\/>Louis Vitton\u2019s trademark suitcases fill the room!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/france-pavilion-dress-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65812\"\/>Dior toiles (garment design prototypes) cover the wall.<\/p>\n<p>While the video of an emotive contemporary dance performance will entertain performing arts enthusiasts, there is also a nod to wine lover and the infamous French \u201cart de vivre\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/france-pavilion-dance-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65811\"\/>Dancers twirl across the large screen.<\/p>\n<p>But the true heart of the pavilion is its secret garden. At the centre of this serene sanctuary stands a magnificent 1000 year old olive tree symbolising resilience and regeneration. Take a moment here to pause and contemplate the complexity of nature and our place in it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/france-pavilion-tree-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-65810\"\/>The 1,000 year old olive tree.<\/p>\n<p>The journey concludes with sculptures of French and Japanese landmarks.
