Japan hosted its first World Expo in Osaka in 1970. Fifty-five years later, this 36th edition will be held again in Osaka, from April 13 to October 13, 2025, on the island of Yumeshima. It brings together 160 countries around the theme "Designing the Society of the Future, Imagining Our Life of Tomorrow."
France, whose history is marked by World Expos, is present at this global event to promote French boldness and expertise in the cultural, scientific, and economic fields. Within the "Inspiring Lives" area, it offers the public a Pavilion that embodies a hymn to love. Ideally located at the entrance to the Exposition, the France Pavilion surprises with its unique architecture. Its fully draped side façades evoke a theater stage, while its monumental staircase unfolds like a ribbon, echoing the common thread of love that serves as its framework. It invites visitors to explore the permanent exhibition, designed as a grand immersive journey, a love of France, illustrated by its landscapes, its art, its expertise...
Through its architecture, its scenography, and its programming, the France Pavilion is a showcase of the French model of innovation. It promotes a competitive, sustainable, low-carbon economy, strengthening the country's international appeal. It reveals a world in which love—of oneself, of others, of nature—is an original response to the social and environmental crises afflicting humanity.
