1. TRADE FAIR ECO BIO ALSACE 2016 : PARC DES EXPOSITIONS, COLMAR,
FRANCE
From the 5th to the 8th of May, 2016, took place at the Colmar’s Parc des Expositions, the
Trade Fair Eco Bio Alsace 2016. The atmosphere was nice, and like the French say: “bon
enfant”. I also had the privilege to discuss with a fellow countryman about yesterday’s values.
Among the firms I had the chance to meet for you and for this article:
The soap factory SAPONAIRE from Monflanquin in France, and managed by Anja Canaux.
Jardin Gourmand from Lalaye in France, managed by Gérard Verret, with whom I had a great
conversation about his original gastronomic creations, and according to me, enchanting,
because they took me to another fantasy world.
The firm SolAlter from Laurac in France, created by Monsieur Tomas Landazuri, and thanks
to this firm, I discovered the whole sugar cane « Panela », coming from a sugar cane grown
without either “chemical fertilizers” nor “insecticides.”
The association Robin des Bois, association for human and environmental protection, in the
XIXth arrondissement of Paris in France, had on display during the Colmar’s Eco Bio Alsace
2016 Trade Fair, biological jojoba oil, an oil with a very beautiful sunny colour.
The Farm du Pescher from Omblèze in France had also on display wonderful bonbons from
the good old days, “en plaques cassées”. Thanks to Monsieur Franck Fayolles for the
explanations.
The artist Philippe Bray had also on display wonderful wooden sculptures of his, for more
information, the site L’Effet Papillon.
The cooperative bibol from Apremont in France presented a beautiful line of bamboo plates,
bowls, cups, cutlery, spice boxes, trays, …, «without solvents, nor volatile organic
compounds. »
The firm CLOT François, from La Baume d’Hostun in France, manufacturing canned fruit
and jams.

various backgrounds:
Agriculture, Alimentation, Wine, Drinks, Associations, Bakery, Sweets, Publishers, Book
Shops, Press, Energy, Housing, Decoration, Fabric Fibers, Hygiene, Health, Restaurant
