How Julien-Loïc Garin brings over 1M Asians closer to France

It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that Le French May, one of the largest cultural events in Asia with a long history, does serve as a touchstone of French culture for over 1 million of visitors it attracts each year. Mr. Julien-Loïc Garin, CEO of the event plays a key role in making that happen.

For more than two decades Le French May has been a guarantee of excitement with two months of diverse artistic and gastronomy experiences. As Mr.Garin shared with South China Morning Post, Le French May aims to touch everything, to be everywhere and for everyone.

No doubt, brining to life an event with such an extensive program is interlaced with challenges, but Le French May CEO is well equipped. Before becoming the person, who understands and predicts the demands of Le French May audience, Mr.Garin put his exquisite creative organizational skills to good use at Consulate General of France in Hong Kong.

Le French May grew into a seamless bridge between distinct cultures, and it requires a person in charge with same features, which Julien-Loїс is certainly great at.

Every year the festival has a lot of unforgettable events lined up, extended from May to June. Who knows, maybe next year it’s going to be Le French Summer, a big gift to those who just can’t get enough of French culture.

不夸张地说，亚洲最大文化活动之一的法国五月艺术节有着悠久的历史，作为法国文化试金石，它每年吸引超过100万的游客。活动首席执行官Julien-Loïc Garin先生在其中起着关键的作用。

二十多年来，法国五月艺术节保证为期两个月各种艺术和美食的美好体验。像Garin先生在南华早报上所说，法国五月艺术节旨在涉猎一切，为每个人，在每个方面。

毫无疑问，在平凡生活中加入这样一个昂贵的活动是具有挑战性的，但法国五月艺术节CEO可以做到。在法国驻香港总领事馆，Garin先生利用自己精妙的创意和良好的组织能力，思考预测法国五月艺术节受众的需求。

法国五月艺术节可以成为不同文化之间的桥梁，它需要负责人具有相同的特质，Garin先生则完全具备这样的特质。

这个节日每年五月到六月都有精彩纷呈的活动。也许明年夏天将是法国艺术节之夏，给不足够了解法国文化的人献上一份大礼。
