Located in the heart of the French capital, Casa Colombia aims to appeal to a broad international audience, highlighting the diversity and richness of the country.
A Cultural and Economic Promotion Project

An immersion in Colombian culture
Casa Colombia offers a rich and varied cultural programme, organised by the Colombian Ministry of Culture. Visitors can enjoy traditional music and dance performances, art and craft exhibitions, lectures and local culinary specialities.

Interactive stands and representatives from Colombia’s main tourist destinations, such as Cartagena, Bogotá, Medellín, the coffee region and many others, give visitors an overview of the wonders the country has to offer.
