Founded in Paris, this festival is held in cities all over France and in French-speaking countries (Canada, Belgium, Morocco). It is rapidly expanding internationally (India, US, Colombia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong) with new projects commencing in Indonesia, Vietnam, Kenya and the Middle East.
