★ Celebrate Advent Nights with the Galerie Vauclair ★

On Thursday, December 5 will be an opportunity for the Galerie Vauclair to begin with you the celebration of Advent and enter into the Christmas season. We therefore invite you on this December 5 for a wonderful evening at 24 rue de Beaune to show you a selection of pieces that may be able to give you inspiration for your Christmas gifts.

We'll also take the opportunity to celebrate our return from China with lots of interesting projects out there for months to come. Following our first participation in Fine Art Asia at the beginning of October 2013, we now prepare the French May 2014 (Hong Kong, May 2014). China has opened its doors to us and we are proud to present our so special collection there. The members of the Consulate of France in Hong Kong are invaluable in these upcoming projects. Many thanks to them.


And here are a few highlights in pictures of our recent exhibitions in China...
