Thank you, Atlanta! 🎉 Last Friday, Alliance Française d’Atlanta presented FLAMBOYANTS!, a hybrid documentary theatre and concert performance by Collective Tilawcis at 7 Stages Theatre. Across two showings, Atlanta audiences experienced a work that connects the cultures of Réunion, Louisiana and Puerto Rico through music, movement and five languages. It’s a strong example of what cross-cultural programming can do: bring communities together around shared stories of resilience. We were honored to have Villa Albertine with us for the evening. A heartfelt merci for supporting the tour, along with the French Government, Institut Français, CDNOI, Cité des Arts, Région Réunion, Département de la Réunion, Ville de Saint-Denis, Ville de Saint-Paul, FME and the Consulat Général de France à Atlanta. Thank you also to 7 Stages Theatre for hosting us, to the Dutchtown High School Band, and to everyone who came out.

Bonne retraite, Catherine! 🎉 Today we celebrate Catherine Francisse, who is retiring from the Alliance Française d’Atlanta. Catherine grew up in Brussels, where she earned a master’s degree in Psychology and Education. She began her career in textbook publishing in Belgium and moved into teaching after coming to Atlanta, where she spent 18 years in Johns Creek public schools. When she retired from that job, her love of teaching brought her to us. Our students have benefited from that decision ever since. Catherine, thank you for your patience, your expertise, and the joy you brought to every class. We hope retirement leaves plenty of time for traveling, reading, and diving! Students and friends, please leave your messages for Catherine in the comments. 👇 #BonneRetraite #MerciCatherine #AllianceFrançaise #Atlanta #FrenchTeacher

Joyeuse Action de grâce! 🍁 Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all our friends celebrating today! To mark the occasion, meet one of our Canadian teachers, Gary Gluck. Born in Toronto to Swiss parents from the French-speaking Jura, he learned French early so he could talk with family in Switzerland. He then grew up in Brussels, where he went to French-language schools. After earning a BA in English Literature from Carleton University in Ottawa, he studied literary translation in Brussels and went on to an MFA in Comparative Literature and Literary Translation at the University of Iowa. For the past 25 years he’s worked as a French-to-English translator on everything from EU policy to finance to NGO reports. He has taught French at the University of Portland, Kennesaw State, the University of Iowa, and here at the Alliance. He’s also a certified DELF/DALF examiner. He has studied Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, and Turkish, and he’s still curious about one big question: what’s the best way to learn a language, and what works for each student? We think his students are lucky to find out with him. Join Gary in class this fall session!

Today we celebrate one of the most important days in French history! Bastille Day, known in France as La Fête nationale or simply le 14 juillet, is celebrated each year on July 14. This national holiday commemorates the Storming of the Bastille, which took place in Paris on July 14, 1789. On that day, revolutionaries seized the fortress in search of gunpowder and ammunition, marking a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. Today, the storming of the Bastille remains a powerful symbol of liberty, the people’s resistance to tyranny, and the ideals of Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. France’s national holiday also honors the spirit of unity celebrated at the Fête de la Fédération on July 14, 1790, reflecting the enduring values of the French Republic. Bonne Fête nationale! 🇫🇷
