Like every year for the past 104 years, the Foire de Lyon is back at Eurexpo Lyon from March 22nd to April 1st. And this edition keeps the same ingredients that have made it a success for over a century: a wide and diverse range of products related to housing, shopping, and leisure! But in terms of new features this year, one event has caught our attention (in addition to the now traditional best pastry flan contest): the video game and esport exhibition Gones Games which will close the Foire de Lyon from March 30th to April 1st.
