The French Library is pleased to announce the appointment of Jean-François Ducrest as Board Chair. A native Parisian and financial executive with 30 years of experience, Ducrest succeeds Steven Galante, who is retiring after almost 12 years of service.

A trustee of the French Library since 2005, Ducrest looks forward to building on Galante's legacy and, with the support of the board, strengthening the French Library's role as the leading francophone institution in the Northeast, anchored in Back Bay.

🍂 It's Gilmore Girls rewatch season. You know the drill: flannel, pumpkin spice, and Rory with a book in hand in almost every scene. So, in case you want a mix of the show AND French, here are some books that were mentioned across the show that have French roots: some written by French authors (Balzac, Flaubert, Hugo, Proust, Voltaire), others written by expats who fell for France and never left (think Hemingway in Paris, Fitzgerald on the Riviera.)
