There are free tickets for anyone who wants to see us on stand L251 in the lifestyle section. Simply follow this link to the France Show website.

Last year’s event was lots of fun for Francophiles with a whole host of interesting French stands to visit. My favourites were the food stalls and I particularly liked the cooking seminars with Jean-Christophe Novelli. I’ll be booking myself into the wine seminars, which are running for the first time this year.

Of course, siblu will be at the show in a big way. Last year we bought a mobile home and our stand was packed throughout, so this year we’ll be presenting the top-of-the range ABI Focus mobile home. It’s a new 36 x 12ft two-bedroom model with a terrace, en-suite bathrooms and energy saving features.

If you visited the show in 2008, why not let us know what you thought and what we should look out for in 2009?
