Building on the successes of the previous four editions, the French Food Festival in Vietnam will return to the capital, offering Hanoi residents and visitors the opportunity to experience a variety of exciting activities. 

A highlight of this year’s festival will be the first-time participation of the International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF), the Francophone University Agency (AUF), and the Group of Francophone Embassies, Delegations, and Institutions in Hanoi (GADIF).

The festival will feature three key activities: the third Francophone Run, a French fair with over 40 booths displaying French agricultural and food products, and an educational exhibition providing information for students interested in studying in France.

In his speech the press briefing, Pierre Du Ville, president of GADIF, emphasized the festival’s role in boosting stronger ties between France, French-speaking countries, and Vietnam. He said that with the involvement of institutional, economic, and cultural organizations, the event will serve as a platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange, further strengthening both bilateral and multilateral relations.

Aimed at young people and families, the festival will celebrate Francophone heritage while encouraging cultural exchanges and cooperation across various sectors. Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the French Embassy's booths, which will include exhibits on automobile manufacturing, tourism, and education.

Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, a special music program will take place during the festival along with performances by renowned artists.
