The China Cultural Center in Paris hosted its Spring Festival Open Day under the theme "Step into the Center for Chinese New Year" on Feb, 14, 2026.
Guided by the concepts of immersion, ritual and meaningful participation, the event transformed the entire building into a day-to-night "Spring Festival roaming route". Exhibitions, hands-on workshops, interactive programs, performances, digital technology and cuisine were woven together throughout.
Among the more than 350 guests at the event were Marie-Pierre Boucher Hollier, special adviser to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, and Josiane Gaude, first deputy mayor of Paris's 7th arrondissement, along with local residents, students and families. Amid lanterns and laughter, they shared a festive, refined Chinese New Year celebration.
