Discover French language and culture with the French Institute through fun activities mixing arts and crafts, storytelling and poetry.
Did you know that the first photograph was taken about 200 years ago by French engineer Nicéphore Niépce? Experiment with cyanotype printing or take pictures with French inspired props. Write a poem in French or English and add it to an “arbre à poêmes” (a “poem tree”) taking inspiration from the language of Shakespeare.
You can also play a French escape game, enjoy tales from France and have a chat about all things French!
No prior French language skills required.
