There have been some stellar building designs for the upcoming Shanghai 2010 Expo, and the French Pavilion is one of them.
The French Pavilion design for the Shanghai 2010 Expo appears to be floating, as it's surrounded by water. Even better is that it is filled with a large French garden. The design is a cool decision by Architect Jacques Ferrier and seems in keeping with the eco-friendly designs of the Shanghai Expo.
