Mode City and Interfilière make temporary move back to Lyon

18/11/2015
A clash of dates with the European Football Championships next summer means the organiser of the Mode City and Interfilière, Eurovet, will move the intimate apparel and beachwear exhibitions away from Paris to France’s second city, Lyon.

The final of the football tournament is scheduled to take place at the Stade de France, just north of Paris, on July 10, coinciding with the dates for Interfilière and Mode City (July 9-11). Organiser Eurovet has decided that changing the venue is an easier option than trying to find alternative dates in the business international exhibition calendar and has said the two shows will go ahead on the same dates, but in a different city, Lyon.

In fact, the change represents a return to roots for the exhibitions, which ran in Lyon until 2008, when they moved to Paris. Eurovet said exhibitors were already experiencing steep increases in hotel prices for Paris for the July 2016 dates and supported the move.
