Passersby will be able to familiarise themselves with the geography of the European Union by walking around this map and learning more about each of the 27 Member States by reading the information panels displayed all over it.
Two children from each of the Member States and the Member States' Ambassadors in France as well as representatives from European associations have been invited to attend this inauguration. Their presence symbolises the reality of European integration, a union of of men and women whose diversity enriches the house of Europe. It also bears witness to a Europe that is resolutely turned to the future.
