* * * * WHAT ABOUT THE SHOW ??? * * * *

For many years, many Teddybears or Dolls events have obtained their credentials around Paris, in the East or in the South of France. Throughout the West Coast, no show or specialized event has taken place yet.
To fill this empty space, we get in organizing an European Bear Artists and Doll Artists Show in La Rochelle, which is a strategic point on the West Coast, located midway between Bordeaux and Nantes, TGV railway (high speed trains) direct from Paris and a worldwide-known touristic attract !

The purpose of this show will be, above all, to promote Artist Bears, Artist Dolls and all related disciplines (painting, miniatures ...) right in the heart of the Fench West Coast. It will be an opportunity for exhibitors,
to expand their customers and to meet their clients in a special event, entirely dedicated to their common passion.

The Espace Encan, former fish market and a memorial to the fishing industry in La Rochelle, today plays host to major events. Located at the heart of an area devoted to the sea and ocean adventures, bordered by the Grand Aquarium (special rates for exhibitors), the Espace Encan is in close proximity to the historic city centre.

Facing La Rochelle’s two famous towers, it overlooks the Yacht Harbour and is just 5 minuts walking from the Train Station ( 6 high-speed trains TGV everyday from Paris ).

The Exhibition Hall (Hall Atalante) can accommodate about fifty exhibitors (470 m2). It has direct access through the square and thus remain completely independent from other exhibition spaces. A visit can be found on the website of the Espace ENCAN : www.espacescongres-larochelle.com

A 420 spaces car parking faces the front of the building and a free 310 spaces parking is available at the end of the building.
