06. Osaka- 大阪 / Hankyu 2015 French Fair 【阪急うめだ本店フランスフェア2015!】



During my internship I worked at a fair that was held in Osaka by the department store Hankyu. The fair was about France, so I had a really good time! After the end of my day, I went around to take some pictures of the beautiful things that were sold here. There was a food mall and a fashion alley, both full of french things- wine and cheese, but also lovely items reminding of french culture.


Then.. this booth was like it was made for me. A explosion of pink, lace and flowers, in a very kitsch way- my friend giggled when she saw the items. Grandma style.
I didn't resisted for long and bought the giant pillow cover with the cat!





This bag with the rabbit was so adorable and precious. 




After browsing the fashion alley, I went into the food mall.
This person was making eclairs, a french sweet consisting of a dough filled with custard or flavoured whipped cream, and iced with sugar. It's awesome to combine the french cuisine with the japanese touch for cutesy!



A small thing that made me smile- trying to pass these as "omg traditionnal french food" that is way overpriced- it was just very simple supermarket, industrial stuff you can buy everywhere in France.



I came across a booth selling the most beautiful tea boxes I'd never seen. The details on the drawings were so precious. The seller made me a little cup of one of the tea (the "Ventre plat" which means "Flat stomach".. aha) and it was delicious. But honestly I just wanted one because of the box!



And for the end, delicious french baguette and traditionnal topping such as rouille or tapenade! Missed it so much, it was wonderful to taste some!



Thank you for reading!
