The Place de la Francophonie 2010 is one of the Francophone cultural events during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games wich will be held in Vancouver (British Columbia - Canada) from 10 to 28 February 2010.

Wanted by the Fondation canadienne pour le dialogue des cultures (Canadian Foundation for Cross Cultural Dialogue) and the Fédération des francophones de la Colombie-Britannique (Francophone Federation of British Columbia), Place de la Francophonie will highlight the vitality and diversity of the Francophonie in Canada.

Located on Granville Island, downtown Vancouver, Place de la Francophonie 2010 will be in full excitement during the Olympic Winter games. This little French Quarter will allow to taste the artistic, musical and cultural richness of Francophonie in Canada, live the Olympic Games experience in French and where the festive ambiance will make it a joy to mingle.

On stage, established stars will mix with the best of emerging artists. Weird and wonderful creatures will parade the streets. From theatre to music, wonderful performances will unfold for the enjoyment of one and all. With its farmer’s market and tourism themed exhibition, the public will also get to discover the most beautiful tourist circuits and trails and sample a plethora of local and traditional products.
