In celebration of France’s National Day, the French-Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI) will host its annual Bastille Day event on Monday, July 14th, at Gabit, Floating Island in Seoul. This evening event, held at one of Seoul's most picturesque locations, aims to foster cultural exchange and dialogue between the French and Korean communities.
FKCCI’s Bastille Day is a significant gathering that unites business leaders, institutional representatives, and Francophiles. Attendees can enjoy networking in a relaxed and culturally rich environment.
The evening will feature a French-style buffet, serving cheese, caviar, fine wines, champagne, and cocktails. Entertainment will include a lyrical performance by Monsieur KO, a traditional French Cancan show by Team Garmonya, and an energetic DJ set by Suhèr Chandi. Additional performances by busking artists dalm_eun, Sahae, and Haemil will further enhance the atmosphere. This special evening is made possible through the generous support of FKCCI’s partners.
This year's event is sponsored by prominent companies, including Accor Ambassador Korea, Air France, DPJ & Partners Architecture, JCDecaux Korea, L’Oréal Korea, Lotte Chilsung (Orangina & Evian), Pernod Ricard Korea, and Renault Korea. Their contributions reflect a strong commitment to fostering Franco-Korean relations.
The highlight of the evening will be a lucky draw, where guests can win prizes such as a round-trip business class ticket from Seoul to Paris, luxury hotel stays, an iPad Air, and an official Paris Saint-Germain jersey signed by football star Lee Kang-In.
Beyond the festivities, Bastille Day commemorates the storming of the Bastille in 1789, a turning point in the French Revolution. It symbolizes liberty and national pride, and is celebrated by French communities worldwide.
The event is open to the public, welcoming both FKCCI members and non-members, inviting everyone interested in experiencing French culture and community engagement.
