| “Ma patrie, c’est la langue française,” said Albert Camus –– “My country is the French language.”
The Algerian-born author understood that all French-speakers, whatever their place of birth, are united in what is called la francophonie. |
| La Francophonie? It’s more than 175 million French-speaking people from over 50 different countries representing a carnival of cultures spanning the continents from Marrakesh to Montréal and from Toulouse to Tahiti. |
| On the Kick-off evening to a month long festival celebrating all things French, come and sample the delicacies from Belgique, Canada, France, Québec, Sénégal, Suisse, dance to the drums and grio songs of Seng-Seng and enter our raffle to win many prizes including our Grand Prix: 2 roundtrip tickets from Chicago to Toronto courtesy of Porter Airlines, a brunch for four at the Four Seasons Chicago, and much, much more...
All proceeds from the raffle will go to the Red Cross… pour nos amis d’Haïti. |
| Bienvenue à tous, et que la fête commence! |
| This program is made possible in part thanks to the support of le Centre de la Francophonie des Amériques and TV5monde |
