The French Chamber of Commerce in Korea (FKCCI) will celebrate its 40th anniversary and the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and France by hosting the 'Maison France Festival 2026' on September 12-13 at the Picnic Park in Suwon's Avenue France, in collaboration with Hoban Properties.
The festival will feature 17 brands, including Renault Korea, Casa de Mont, and La Brûlerie, showcasing a variety of renowned French products in sectors such as food, furniture, clothing, perfume, and mobility. This event aims to introduce the French concept of 'savoir-faire'—expertise and know-how—to Korean consumers.
Notably, the festival will include many authentic French food brands, such as Agronova – Comptoir de Provence, Clément Faugier, Crème Kankan, Guillaume, La Belle Iloise, and Olivier & Co., allowing attendees to experience the flavors of France in one location. Each brand will also offer special events and interactive programs for Korean consumers.
The FKCCI plans to continue creating opportunities for brands, consumers, and the general public to connect, supporting the entry and growth of French brands in the Korean market while strengthening ties within the business communities of both countries.
Meanwhile, Korea and France are celebrating 140 years of diplomatic relations this year, marked by a series of high-level visits. French President Emmanuel Macron visited Korea in April, and in response, President Yoon Suk Yeol is currently on a state visit to France from September 6 to 9. During this visit, President Yoon is scheduled to hold a summit with President Macron in Paris and participate in a Korea-France business roundtable. President Yoon also attended the G7 summit held in Évian, France, in June.
