(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners from the Vendée Sector of Pays de la Loire region in Western France were invited to participate in a health expo held in Coëx, France.

The practitioners were asked to introduce the Falun Dafa spiritual practice on September 14 and 15, 2024. The Falun Dafa booth was strategically located and could be easily seen. In addition, the organizers also provided a stage where people who were interested could learn the Falun Gong exercises. Many people said they felt good after learning the exercises and wanted to know more about the practice.

Coëx is a quiet town in the Vendée department in western France, about fifteen kilometers from the sea. The Philippe Perrocheau Park in that area is a cultural heritage site that was once known as the aroma garden, a botanical garden dedicated to growing spice plants.
