Festivals
In keeping with the high internationalisation of the city with its various consulates, clubs and institutions there are from time to time festivals to celebrate those countries and their nationals.
From get-togethers in courtyards, small markets with regional produce, large events drawing hundreds of thousands of tourists to the city to trade congresses; there is something for every taste. The Japan Day and France Festival are both annual, high profile and well organised events, others tend to be more sporadic.
