Lille is France’s 4th largest metropolitan area and the capital of the Nord-Pas de Calais region. Admired and renowned for its architectural splendor, which reflects Baroque and Flemish elements, the region has a rich history closely linked to the textile industry. 

As introducing American professionals to local manufacturers & artisans in France has proven to be a very successful means of creating new business opportunities, we are proud to sponsor this event, which will give buyers the chance to meet individually with French manufacturers of luxury Home textiles, Furnishings, and Tabletop Accessories.

Program participants will benefit from:
- Organized, guided atelier visits 
- Individual Meetings with French companies 
- Networking with fellow-participants from across the United States.
- Expenses Covered by French Government, including: Airfare US to France*, Hotels, Transportation within France, and meals.

Due to extremely limited space and our first come first serve policy, buyers must respond as soon as possible to confirm availability and interest.
