The French Expo at the Abbotsford Convent

What a busy day at the Convent! 5300 people in one day!


We had the whole kids range: The Little Prince, Kirikou, Babar, Asterix and Obelix.






And we had the whole Artiga "Art de la table" on the Cassis stand next door with great free tastings, our "Art de Vivre events" all day.

Chocolate appreciation class preparation on the Cassis tasting table.. before the crowd arrived, all is quiet..not for long.

A very special private sale for the Basque linen

We were honoured to be invited last May at the French Ambassy in Canberra to exhibit the beautiful French Basque linen range from Artiga. This was a very unique opportunity we shared with Annamoworld, a very talented French luxury designer for leatherware products.

We are so thankful for this great opportunity to Mme l'Ambassadrice de France to showcase some authentic regional quality homeware from the South West of France.
