Shen Yun Performing Arts' eight consecutive performances in Nantes, France, concluded successfully on Feb. 23. All the performances were sold out as early as last November despite new shows being added in October. Audiences were mesmerized by the beauty and values depicted in Shen Yun.

Régis Fauconnier, a food industry manager, said: “It’s a pleasant feeling of pleasure. You get carried away, as my wife said. And it feels good. You forget your every day worries. Here, you spend a great moment, an enchanted interlude.”

Other audience members were amazed by Shen Yun’s artistry.

Mickael, an engineer, said: “It was stunning to watch. Honestly, I didn’t expect to see so many dances and to hear so much music. Especially the music, we were completely absorbed in it.”

He said Shen Yun was incredibly beautiful. "We did not expect such a stunning backdrop, all these colors, and all the dancers. It’s truly magnificent,” he said.

His girlfriend, Ariane, said: “It’s exceptional...You can only be amazed by the skill of all the dancers and musicians. It’s impressive.”

She said the dancers’ precision and the costumes are sumptuous and vibrant with colors. "It’s a performance filled with grace, making it a very interesting and satisfying experience,” she said.

Alexandre Le Blanc, a wine merchant, said the artistic level of the performance was very high. "We are not used to seeing a show of such quality. So, it was very pleasant to watch,” he said.

“It was breathtaking. Very impressive. There were a lot of colors, and it gave me shivers,” he said.

The values and traditions in Shen Yun resonated deeply with the audience, including Mr. Le Blanc.

“We can surely say there is a sense of benevolence and kindness. We felt great sympathy from all the people,” he said.

Mr. Fauconnier said he certainly felt the artists' kindness and generosity. "We felt it, we felt it deeply, yes,” he said.

Mickael said he believed that the performance brought great joy and happiness. "It’s very beautiful, and I think I might come back next year to see it again,” he said.
