On 14 July, France celebrates its national holiday. While Paris marks the occasion with military parades and fireworks, the Copenhagen version comes with live jazz and the final rounds of a pétanque tournament.

Ma Poule, the well established French stall in hal 1, will serve grilled lamb and cold drinks while helping to set the scene around the pétanque court.

Meanwhile, Den Lille Køkkenbutik will make crêpes, Le Petit Vinbar will pour champagne, and Den Grønne Kutter will serve Gillardeau oysters. Croque monsieur, pastries, rosé and wines from France and Corsica will also be available throughout the day, so there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy some of France’s culinary classics.
