The pavilion's mascot, a cute little cat, also joined the celebration. Freches expressed his best wishes for the newly-weds.

The pavilion is preparing to offer dream weddings for couples during the six-month event. Couples will tie the knot inside classical French-style gardens.

Dubbed "The Sensual City," the pavilion will showcase the sights, smells, tastes, sounds, feel and glamour of France.
