(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Reims, France, participated in the Tendance Nature exhibition held at the Reims Exhibition Park from March 21 to 23, 2025. Practitioners in Mulhouse, eastern France, also conducted activities to introduce the spiritual practice and raise awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution on March 22, 2025. Many people learned about the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) in China and encouraged practitioners to continue to expose the crimes taking place in China.
Tendance Nature Exhibition in Reims
Reims is also known as the “City of Kings.” For more than a thousand years, French kings were crowned in the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Reims. A total of 33 French kings were crowned in Reims. The city has a rich cultural and historical heritage and is designated as a city of art and history.
At the exhibition in Reims, practitioners introduced the core principles of Falun Dafa: Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises. Practitioners talked about the origin of Falun Dafa, Dafa’s founder Mr. Li Hongzhi, the development of Falun Dafa in China and around the world since the 1990s, and the CCP’s 25-year persecution of Falun Dafa. Many local people who attended the event expressed strong interest and support for Falun Dafa.

After learning about Dafa and the CCP’s persecution, many visitors said they appreciated the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and condemned the CCP’s brutality. One man said, “The Chinese Communist Party persecutes Falun Gong because it’s afraid that people will believe in values that are stronger than the Party.”
Event in Mulhouse in Eastern France
Mulhouse is a small town in eastern France and a famous tourist destination because of its proximity to the borders of Switzerland and Germany. It also has the world’s largest automobile museum.
The local event was held at the entrance of the pedestrian zone, close to the tram line, next to the Porte Jeune shopping mall and the European Tower on March 22. A woman expressed her gratitude for the beautiful, soothing and harmonious music played by the practitioners. “Thank you. Keep doing this. It’s great!” she said.

This was the first time some people had heard about Falun Dafa; others knew a little about it but did not fully understand what the practice is about. One young man signed the petition against the persecution and invited his friends to sign it as well. Several police officers visited the activity and they all listened to practitioners explain about the CCP’s forced organ harvesting.
A Chinese man talked to practitioners and said the CCP is disgusting. He took some materials and signed the petition calling to end the persecution. Tourists from different countries also signed the petition to show their support. Many of them had previously heard of Dafa and wanted to learn more.
Some people were interested in leaning to meditate. A group of young people signed the petition and asked to take a photo with practitioners.
At the end of the event, a group of Chinese people led by a Western tour guide stood a distance away and stared intently at a display board, trying to read it. Later, the tour guide asked a practitioner, “What is this? Why is this group being persecuted?” The Chinese group listened to the translation. The practitioner talked about the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa in China. The tour guide was interested in the Guizhou stone on which the hidden characters “The Chinese Communist Party will perish” were naturally formed and clearly visible. He found this information on his mobile phone, which enabled him to explain that Chinese people need to withdraw from organizations related to the Party. Finally, he expressed gratitude on behalf of the entire group and wished practitioners all the best. Before leaving, the practitioner told them where to find the website about the Tiananmen self-immolation incident, which was staged by the CCP to defame Falun Dafa and deceive the Chinese public.
