An exhibition, featuring around 200 cultural artifacts from the era of interaction between the Chinese and French royal courts in the 17th and 18th centuries, kicked off at the Palace Museum in Beijing on Monday, marking the opening of the 18th edition of the Festival Croisements.
Entitled The Forbidden City and the Palace of Versailles: Exchanges Between China and France in the 17th and 18th Centuries, the exhibition is a key event for the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism, which celebrates the 60-year diplomatic bond between the two countries.
