Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) over the last 2 hours of exposure in the EEC Percentage nasal lavage eosinophil count post EEC [ Time Frame: TNSS: 6-8h during EEC exposure on Day 10 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Measure of nasal cytokines (ECP, IL-5, IL-13, PGD2, Eotaxin) [ Time Frame: After 8h exposure in EEC ]
  2. Absolute eosinophil count from nasal lavage collected [ Time Frame: During exposure in EEC ]
  3. Nasal airway patency assessed by acoustic rhinometry during exposure in the EEC [ Time Frame: During exposure in EEC ]
  4. Total Ocular Symptom Score measured during exposure in the EEC [ Time Frame: During exposure in EEC ]
  5. Assess pharmacokinetics of plasma QAV680 in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis [ Time Frame: Through out study ]
