Perhaps because cultural heritage is a subject that has interested me for a long time, and also a little because I am lucky enough to work in this field, I wanted to tell you about the upcoming fair on this theme.
Indeed, as a benchmark event, the 18th edition of the International Cultural Heritage Fair will be held from November 8 to 11 in Paris, at the Carrousel du Louvre.
270 exhibitors working for the preservation and promotion of heritage will be there: restorers, craftspeople, architects, institutions, local authorities, associations, schools, publishers…
All heritage professionals will be gathered to showcase their work in support of this sector.
The theme this year is “eco-responsible heritage” and meetings are organized around this topic. It is, moreover, fully in line with current debates on the sustainable preservation of the future of our living environment and our surroundings.
