China's largest single tour group to Europe - 6,400 people - arrived in Nice, France, on Saturday at the start of a four-day break.

Sales staff members and partners of Tiens Group Co, a Tianjin health products company, are celebrating the group's 20th anniversary.

On Saturday, French newspaper Le Monde quoted the country's Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius as saying that the Chinese group's visit to France "is extremely interesting, in terms of trade, the economy and culture".
