Join us to discuss and celebrate the place of Francophonie in business, culture, gastronomie and sport.

Francophone, Francophile, or Franco-curious? Wednesday 20 March is International Francophonie Day, celebrating French language and culture around the world. To mark the occasion, we have teamed up with Alliance Française Auckland to bring you Francophonie Night!

What to Expect

Your ticket to this exciting event includes two glasses of wine, sweet and savoury food platters and one entry for the Francophonie Raffle, giving you the chance to win a range of incredible prizes: flights to Tahiti or Noumea, Accor Plus Membership, and more!

Enjoy great food and a glass of wine to kick off the evening before hearing esteemed speakers discussing the place of francophonie during our stimulating panel discussion.

You'll then be treated to a concert by Franco-American singer, songwriter and musician Sonia Wilson.

Don't miss the Francophonie Raffle draw to see if you're one of the lucky winners!

Finally, round off the evening with more drinks and nibbles and the chance to mingle and network with fellow attendees, panelists and special guests Marc Cerdan, General Secretary of the Fondation des Alliances Françaises and Eric Soulier, representing the Embassy of France in New Zealand.
