On a brief Twitter visit, I noticed that slow man Carl Honore was on his way to Paris where he will be lifting the curtain on Foire de Paris 2011 which decided to take it slow.
Event director Marie-Josee Prost writes that with everything from transports to life being more faster, they decided to revamp Foire de Paris and offer spaces to visitors where they can rethink their living quarters, open themselves to the world and its cultures, focusing on well being.
There is a tension between slowness and a big event with big crowds.
I do wish them success in their endeavor and give Marie-Josee and her team an A for Effort.
