Expected every year by the players of the sector as amateurs, Lounge resonance[s] With this tenth anniversary edition, it once again proves its high level of excellence and high standards. It was in 2012 that Frémaa (Fédération des métiers d’art d’Alsace) took the risk of competing with the biggest institutions by creating its own arts and crafts fair in Strasbourg. It’s a risky bias, but it’s provenIt is one of the first in France and Europe. A real success.
