The Exposition Internationale de l'Est de la France or the International Exhibition of the East of France was an exhibition held in Nancy in 1909. The exhibition opened on May 1 and ran until October 31.[1][2]
The exhibition was held to demonstrate recovery from the Alsace-Lorraine annexation in the 1870 war.[1] There were over 2000 exhibitors and 2 million visitors.[1]
Visitor attractions included a water chute, French gardens, a mining [3] and gas pavilions.[3][4] There was an Alsatian Village[4] and a Senegalese village[3][5]
The local École de Nancy had its own pavilion intended to demonstrate the close links between art and industry in the region[6] which opened two months after the main exhibition.[7] Many architects of the École de Nancy, including Lucien Weissenburger, Émile André, Émile Toussaint, Louis Marchal, Paul Charbonnier, Eugène Vallin, and others designed the pavilions for the exhibition.
