SUMMARY:The History of the Parisian Bistro and Paris Bistro Life Today
DESCRIPTION:Event begins at 1pm PT / 2pm MT (except Phoenix) / 3pm CT / 4pm ET\n  \nThe Paris bistro is at its heart an unpretentious neighborhood gathering place serving traditional cuisine\, having an active bar counter\, and open beyond meal hours\, with an ever-watchful owner on the premises. Yet use of the term has also evolved over the past 150 years. In this illustrated 1-hour lecture\, Gary Lee Kraut examines the development and evolution of bistros in Paris since the late 19th century and tells of the place of old-fashion restaurant-bar bistros in the French capital today. Gary will also talk about various organizations devoted to defending and promoting traditional bistros\, cafés and brasseries as essential vectors of sociability and art-de-vivre à la française. \nOriginally from Trenton\, New Jersey\, Gary Lee Kraut is an American and French dual citizen who has been inspiring and informing travelers for 35 years through travel writing\, consulting\, lecturing\, and guiding. He is the author of five travel guides and of hundreds of articles about France. He is also the author and voice behind four audio tours created for the VoiceMap app. Since 2009 he has operated the award-winning travel e-magazine France Revisited\, francerevisited.com. He lives in Paris. \nAt home in both French and American journalism circles\, Gary served as Secretary General of the Association des Journalistes du Patrimoine\, France’s Heritage Journalists Association\, from 2016 to 2020. \nAs a lecturer\, Gary has presented extensively in the United States. Speaking at libraries\, universities\, and to Alliance Française groups\, among others\, he has made presentations as diverse as Understanding Patrimoine (Cultural Heritage) in France; American War Memories in France (WWI and WWII); the History of the Wines of Burgundy and Champagne; the Jewish History of Paris; Exploring Historic Gardens in Paris; Culinary Explorations in Paris; 3 Villas on the Riviera\, and most recently Paris Bistro Life. He is available for any of these presentations via Zoom or\, under certain circumstances\, in person. \n\n\n\nPlease visit the site afusa.org to register for this event.

SUMMARY:La contribution de la France dans la guerre de l'Indépendance américaine
DESCRIPTION:En français\nL’événement commence à 8h PT / 9h MT (sauf Phoenix) / 10h CT  / 11h ET\nLe musée franco-américain de Blérancourt conserve nombre de peintures\, dessins\, sculptures\, estampes\, objets d’arts et archives relatifs à l’engagement de la France dans la guerre d’Indépendance américaine. Rejoignez-nous pour une discussion avec Valérie LAGIER\, Conservateur en chef du Patrimoine du Musée franco-américain du Château de Blérancourt.\n \nLe 4 juillet 1776\, les représentants de treize colonies américaines en révolte contre l’Empire britannique\, signaient à Philadelphie la Déclaration d’Indépendance des Etats-Unis. Cet épisode fondateur de la démocratie américaine intervient après un an de guerre et les troupes américaines ont désespérément besoin d’un soutien international. C’est vers la France\, ennemi traditionnel de la couronne anglaise\, que se tournent les émissaires de la jeune république. Les cent cinquante volontaires français qui dès 1777 rejoignent l’armée continentale de Georges Washington ne sont pas la seule contribution de la France à la guerre d’Indépendance\, même si le plus célèbre d’entre eux\, Gilbert du Motier\, marquis de La Fayette\, incarne à lui tout seul cette aide salutaire. C’est véritablement l’engagement de Louis XVI et de son ministre Vergennes qui ont permis aux insurgents de gagner leur indépendance. Un traité d’amitié et de commerce\, ainsi qu’un traité secret d’alliance\, signés en 1778\, marquent un premier soutien du roi\, bientôt concrétisé par l’envoi d’argent et de troupes (terrestres et maritimes). L’effectif des insurgents est dès lors renforcé par la flotte française placée sous le commandement de l’amiral d’Estaing\, puis par les troupes de Rochambeau et enfin par l’escadre de l’amiral de Grasse. Près de 10 000 soldats français participèrent à la Guerre d’Indépendance. Leur présence au siège de Yorktown\, du 28 septembre au 19 octobre 1781\, permet au conflit de s’achever par la capitulation anglaise. Parmi les régiments présents lors de cette bataille\, on compte celui du Soissonnais\, région dans laquelle se trouve Blérancourt. Le 3 septembre 1783\, le traité de Versailles reconnaît l’indépendance de la République fédérée des États-Unis d’Amérique.  \nGratuit pour tous les membres des Alliances Françaises\, de l’AATF et de TAPIF. (Pour les membres de l’AATF : le bureau de l’AATF enverra des attestations de participation aux membres qui en feront la demande et fourniront une capture d’écran. Merci d’écrire à : staff@frenchteachers.org.)  \nEn partenariat avec l’Alliance Française Miami Métro. \nVisitez le site afusa.org pour vous inscrire.

SUMMARY:Annual Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Annual Celebration\nSilent Presence: The French in New England\nSunday\, May 17\, 2026\n3:00 – 5:00 \nAtlantic Works Conference Center\n57 Charter Oak Ave.\nHartford\, CT  06106 \n  \n \n  \n  \nVenez nombreux à notre Célébration Annuelle de l’Alliance Française de Hartford. \nCome learn about the history and diaspora of French Canadians and Acadians.  Jeanne Douillard will be our guest of honor at the Alliance Française Annual Celebration on Sunday\, May 17 from 3:00 to 5:00 PM.   The title of her lecture will be “Silent Presence: The French in New England.”   She will include music as part of her presentation. \nFor more than 25 years\, Jeanne Douillard has probed the history of the French in the Americas. An independent scholar\, she began by researching her own family genealogy and discovered she had Québecois\, Acadiens\, Algonquin and English roots.  She wanted to find out more about these people. Her passion led her to delve deeply into the quagmire of conflicting historiographies.  English\, French and American historians of the past offered up irreconcilable views of La Nouvelle France [New France] and its people.  She was intrigued. What is the truth and why have the French in particular been such a silent presence in New England? \nShe published her book\, I Remember: Je Me Souviens… in 2015 and began giving presentations throughout New England. Entitled Silent Presence – The French in New England\, she shares her personal story intertwined with the historical story of the Québecois and Acadiens in the Americas.  It is a compelling tale of generational trauma; however\, she provides a very hopeful outcome.  In her talk she says: “As Jennifer Lee\, a Native American storyteller says: ‘To know what happened can empower and inform you.’ Madame Douillard concurs. \nOur president will introduce the members of the AF Board of Directors.  After the lecture\, there will be a light dinner and French-Canadian themed desserts.  Feel free to bring wine. \n

SUMMARY:Seven Great French Explorers (and One Translator) who Opened New Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Seven Great French Explorers (and One Translator) who Opened New Worlds \nZOOM TALK\nSaturday\, March 21\, 2026.\n1:00 PM \n  \n \n  \nJust in time for the first day of spring\, we will learn about great French explorers and one famous French translator who changed the direction of the world.  David Kamen\, a retired UN translator of French and Mandarin Chinese\, and a lifelong lover of history\, science and languages\, will present to us on a topic of great interest to him. \nAn illustrated account of seven French explorers from the “Golden Age” of French exploration in the New World\, as well as one early linguistic scholar\, Champollion\, who opened the world of ancient Egypt for our age. The consistent emphasis on practical and theoretical scientific research that characterized French endeavors in this regard contrasts (sometimes sharply) with the more openly mercenary approach taken by other European powers in their colonial expansion. \nA zoom link will be sent a few days before the presentation. \nALL MEMBERS (basic\, gold and silver) and NON MEMBERS\, AS WELL AS AF STUDENTS\nPlease RSVP below. \nGold\, silver and AF Students are free. \n

SUMMARY:L'inconnue du portrait
DESCRIPTION:L’inconnue du portrait\nCamille de Peretti \n  \n« La toile vibrait de beauté. Elle en avait le souffle coupé et se noyait dans l’œil bleu ciel piqueté de vert. Est-ce qu’elle était réellement le sosie de cette inconnue ? » Peint à Vienne en 1910\, le tableau de Gustav Klimt Portrait d’une dame est acheté par un collectionneur anonyme en 1916\, retouché par le maître un an plus tard\, puis volé en 1997\, avant de réapparaître en 2019 dans les jardins d’un musée d’art moderne en Italie. Aucun expert en art\, aucun conservateur de musée\, aucun enquêteur de police ne sait qui était la jeune femme représentée sur le tableau\, ni quels mystères entourent l’histoire mouvementée de son portrait. Des rues de Vienne en 1900 au Texas des années 1980\, du Manhattan de la Grande Dépression à l’Italie contemporaine\, Camille de Peretti imagine la destinée de cette jeune femme\, ainsi que celles de ses descendants. Une fresque magistrale où se mêlent secrets de familles\, succès éclatants\, amours contrariées\, disparitions et drames retentissants. \n  \nPLACE:  Atlantic Works Conference Center\nTIME:     12:30 – 1:30  (join us for lunch after conversation group at nnoon)
