As the “Marché” (traditional outdoor market) is deeply rooted in French “art de vivre” (lifestyle), French GourMay, in partnership with Chinachem Group, proudly present the 9th edition of French Traditional Gourmet Market from 11-14 May at Central Market, and 1-4 June at NINA MALL 1 (Free admission).
What is the beauty of weekend markets in France? Abundant choices of local produce, friendly vendors in the neighborhood, and enjoyable grocery shopping beyond time limit…Voilà. French Traditional Gourmet Market will give you a break from the hustle and bustle of the citylife in Hong Kong.
Besides French sparkling wines, visitors will discover all kinds of French delicacies, such as cheese, pâtés, fruit jams, foie gras, croissants, seafood, soup, beer and tea etc.
There’s also a feast for the eyes. Co-presented by Chinachem Group and French May Arts Festival at the two markets, the interactive installation “Waterlight Graffiti” by French artist Antonin Fourneau is designed to create environmental-friendly art to raise awareness of sustainability issues. It will be complemented by two nature-inspired artworks created by renowned Hong Kong-based artist Bao Ho, exemplifying cross-cultural exchange through art.

About French May & French GourMay
Established in 1993, French May (www.frenchmay.com) is one of the largest cultural events in Asia. With more than 150 programmes presented across two months, it has become an iconic part of Hong Kong’s cultural scene that reaches out over 1 million visitors each year.

Every year in May, French GourMay presents a different region (Midi-Pyrénées, Rhone Valley, Provence, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Alsace, Champagne etc.), introducing and encouraging people to experience the dining culture in French style and letting go through an authentic French gastronomic journey through a network of more than 200 local partners.
