Well, you probably did not check the link I provided [http://orchidguide.com/pipermail/orchids_orchidguide.com/2005-March/001497.html] about a news story published by France 3 :
"DIJON, 21 mars 2005 (AFP) Congr�s mondial d'orchid�es � Dijon: 195.000 visiteurs,
1.840 plants saisis Quelque 195.000 personnes se sont rendues du 10 au 20 ...

[unfortunately the complete news item is no longer available]
From memory :
it was mentioned that :
1) the attendance was a little superior this year, compared to the number of visitors to the previous Florissimo.
2) the official numbers will be announced later.
