With more than a year to go until the Shanghai World Expo, participating cities are busy getting ready. France's "Shanghai World Expo Bureau" is promoting its idea of a "sensitive city", with a 6,000 square exhibition hall on water.

France's "Shanghai World Expo Bureau" is promoting its idea  of a "sensitive city", with a six-thousand-square-meter  exhibition hall on water.

The bureau revealed their designs at a press conference in Paris. They will incorporate taste, touch, smell, sight, and sound into their idea of a "sensitive city." All the buildings are surrounded by water.

The project will be ready for the Expo's opening in May 2010. The exhibition halls will feature French artifacts and tantalizing French food.
