The French Institute in Bulgaria in partnership with the Ministry of Culture and the Sofia Municipality stand behind the initiative.

Its visitors can take a virtual walk across Paris, see the Eiffel Tower, the City Hall, the Musée d'Orsay, the Church of St. Eustache, the Palais Garnier and will fly into space with the help of French astronaut Thomas Pesquet.
Screenings of French films from the 1970s are also planned. The Sofia Municipality will present its galleries in the open air downtown Sofia. The Italian Embassy will organize a special exhibition on the occasion of Europe Day.
