Philatelic document - France Pavilion - Expo 2025 - Osaka

Japan hosted its first World Expo in Osaka in 1970. Fifty-five years later, this 36th edition will be held again in Osaka, from April 13 to October 13, 2025, on the island of Yumeshima. It brings together 160 countries around the theme "Designing the society of the future, imagining our life of tomorrow". France, whose history is marked by Universal Exhibitions, is taking part in this global event to promote French boldness and know-how in the cultural, scientific and economic fields. In the "Inspiring Lives" zone, the French Pavilion is a hymn to love. Ideally located at the entrance to the Expo, the France Pavilion's singular architecture will take visitors by surprise. Its fully draped side facades evoke a theatrical stage, while its monumental staircase unfurls like a ribbon, echoing the red thread of love that weaves its fabric. It is an invitation to explore the permanent exhibition, conceived as a vast immersive journey, a love of France, illustrated by its landscapes, its art, its know-how... Through its architecture, scenography and programming, the Pavillon France is a showcase for the French model of innovation. It promotes a competitive, sustainable, low-carbon economy, strengthening the country's international appeal. It showcases a world in which love - of oneself, of others, of nature - is an original response to the social and environmental crises afflicting humanity. COFREX
