Our arrival at the Hilton Hotel
Bracelet on our wrist? Check! Pass around our neck? Check! The fans are patiently waiting for the doors to open to discover their seat in the Q&A room.
Very good Once Upon A Time merchandise
It was possible to buy many products including beautiful bookmarks or notebooks about Once upon a time. It was a huge success for the designer, everything was sold!
Let's go!
After the explanation of the course of the weekend and a quick recall of the rules, the actors came to greet for the first time the 700 fans who came at the event.
We're starting really good!
The first panel of the day happenned with the headliner of the convention: Lana Parrilla. Always friendly and lovely, she answered with sincerity and humor to questions from people in the room for half an hour.

Go to the extras !
Whether for photoshoots or for a meet and greet, fans went up to the first floor of the Hilton Hotel to spend a special moment with their favorite actors.
She said yes!
In the middle of the cosplay contest, a couple who had met at the previous edition of the convention got engaged! Big surprise and big emotion for them and for all of us. Congratulations!
The cosplay contest
Many participants walked through the stage to show their costumes. The newly engaged couple logically won.
One animation after another
It was the moment of karaoke. Karaoke: individual or group entertainment consisting of singing on pre-recorded music. Or more commonly: a time that can usually be not loved by the hears of the people in the room.
How wicked are we... ^^
"Henry" Q&A
Both our Henry (Jared Gilmore and Andrew West) were together on stage for a Q&A.

The real stars
While we were doing light tests in preparation for our next interviews, the bodyguards of the actors take the opportunity to pose at the end of the corridor. How much is the photoshoot?
Sean in music
We talked a few minutes with Sean about the musical career he had when younger. Do you remember "Good Day"? We do!
Interview coming soon on the site.
A Q&A with Barbara, Rebecca, Sean, Jared and Andrew
We laughed so much! The actors (and especially Sean) were on fire!

Quick concert of Sean and Ultan
Sean sang with his friend Ultan on the stage of the convention. We love when actors sing, don't you ?
The great Robert Carlyle!
The actor talk with us for a few minutes about the end of Once Upon A Time Interview to read here.
A french panel
4 french voice actors were at the convention on sunday. We only heard them for a few minutes, but we have no doubt that the panel was very interesting to listen to!
Lana "queen of the Q&A" Parrilla
Between her omissions of the translation, her furniture remodeling, her walks on stage ... it was difficult not to laugh during this half hour with the star of the series Once Upon A Time.

The banner in auction
As usual, the banner was auctioned. And contrary to the wishes of little Sacha (and luckily for his mom) it was sold for less than 1 million euros.
(Sleeping) Belle
Robert!! Urgent call for Robert Carlyle. Robert is asked in the room to wake Belle up!! Yes, we mixed the Disney, but it was so tempting. And also so tempting to take this picture. Please, don't blame us ... <3
We repeat the song!
Fanny, the translator/host of the event gave everything to make the surprise of the closing ceremony successful.
A 'tifo' is set up
Papers are placed on all the seats of the convention for the closing ceremony. In addition to the song, fans will hold these pieces of paper to thank the actors for these 7 years of Once Upon A Time.
Sunday Cosplays
Second cosplay session of the weekend with costumes just as beautiful! Belle and Zelena won the contest.
Autographs!
This is THE moment when (practically) everyone goes and it's visually quite impressive to see people waiting for a last face to face with the actors.
Pictures recovery
It would be stupid to forget them! Recover photos, looking at the poses of others and wondering where to hang them at home ...
The 'entertainment' team
Fanny, Maxence and Clemy were on stage all weekend and they did a great job. Congratulations to them!
This is it...
Song, tifo, thanks from Lana and that's it... until next year! Because yes, People Convention announced that a 3rd edition was going to take place! More info very soon.
Just like always with People Convention, it was a great week-end for our team. Thanks to Brice, Vanessa, Margaux and Marion for their welcome and see you for the 3rd edition of their convention dedicated to Once Upon A Time!
