Today our journey of ?‎theOngoingHistory:?fromShanghaiToMilano is with France Pavilion! In Expo2010, France Pavilion, called the Sensual City, was clad in a trellis-like structure and featured a garden inside with plants growing on the walls, a roof garden and pools of water, offering visitors an experience of sights, smells, tastes, sounds and feel of France.

The pavilion also presented several France’s national treasures such as Gauguin's The Meal, Vincent van Gogh’s The Dance Hall in Arles, Jean-François Millet’s the Angelus, Pierre Bonnard’s La Loge and Auguste Rodin's The Age of Bronze.

This year in Expo2015?, The theme of France Expo 2015 is "Different Ways of Producing and Providing Food" which focuses on this central issue posed by Expo 2015 Milano, with a commitment to participate fully in the discussion, providing answers based on its capabilities and points of excellence.

Its communication is based on four pillars: contributing to global food production, through the potential of France’s productive infrastructure; developing new food models, to address the need for better production; improving self-sufficiency in developing countries, with a policy of skills and technology transfer; and aligning quantity with quality in all the related areas, from health to nutrition and cooking.
