At this special moment, distinguished guests, among whom there are the General Consul of France, Deputy Mayor of Shanghai, gather cheerfully to celebrate the birthday of the Republic of France, regarded as home to perfume, fashion, gastronomy, cheese and of course Wine! Chef Sacha of Grand Mercure Hongqiao Hotel picks the best of the season and creates the flavors of France to serve all the participants of this great event.

 

France is one of the earliest European countries that opened its general consulate in Shanghai. This year also marks the 30th anniversary of the consulate opening. Both nations have witnessed the fast developing cooperation and friendship during the past 30 years. Shanghai, as china’s commercial and economic center, plays a vital role in boosting sino-franco relationship. The city will take this 30th anniversary as a milestone and continue to make efforts for further development.

 

“We are very proud to be part of this big event; and we are pleased to see that all the distinguished guests enjoy the food presented by Grand Mercure Hongqiao. As a French brand hotel, Grand Mercure Hongqiao is and will always be a beneficiary of this benign sino-franco relationship” Mr. Amado, General Manager of Grand Mercure Hongqiao, said.
