During the event the YMCA branch in Brno presented its activities to its French colleagues. YMCA Brno representatives were then received by the Czech ambassador to France Mr. Pavel Fischer.
After the festive presentation of the competition result represenatives of the leading French media watched presentations of Project Austerlitz, Moravian Wine Routes (www.nadacepartnerstvi.cz) and had the opportunity to taste Southern Moravian wines as well as specialities of the local cuisine. The Parisian audience highly values the presence of Moravian wine producers in the Czech Centre being attracted by the possibility to discover new gastronomic products. With no doubt, even there the Bohemian and Moravian wines found their favourers.
