The France Pavilion sets out to question the place of humans in their environment, with the aim of creating empowerment, the ability and desire for a commitment that will enable each of us to take action for our future.

The France Pavilion is a powerful expression of French identity.
Its impressive façade is directly opposite the main entrance to Expo 2025 Osaka. Its sleek, modern style calls to mind a theatre stage that is open to the public. It maintains an air of mystery, taking its visitors upwards through a free stroll.
The side facades are completely screened. All of its different areas offer content that is associated with the France Pavilion’s central theme.
The Pavilion's completely plant-covered roof provides cooling, and is visible from the wooden ring that encircles the entire event site.
An eco-friendly approach
Nature as a regulator
The Pavilion's living roof creates a microclimate, enabling optimal rainwater management. This will help to reduce the urban heat island effect at Expo 2025 Osaka, and is a centrepiece of the project’s design.

A hymn to Love
In Japanese culture, the legend of the red thread, or Akai Ito, refers to the joining of two beings by an invisible, indestructible magic thread attached to their little fingers.
