Thank you so much to everyone who came out for our picnic last Saturday!

We had such a lovely time enjoying the outdoors together, sharing food, conversations, and a truly relaxed and friendly atmosphere — even with the grass still soaking wet!

It was wonderful to see people connect so naturally and make the most of this simple but special moment as a community.

These informal gatherings are a great reminder of the spirit we love at the Alliance Française — warm, open, and full of life.

A big thank you as well to for the delicious petits fours made in Paris — everyone absolutely loved them!

Thank you again for being part of it. We hope to see you soon at our upcoming events!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last week at SMU for the screening of Motherland by Johanna Makabi, former Villa Albertine resident 🎬, followed by a thoughtful and engaging Q&A session.

It was a real pleasure to share this special evening with such an attentive and curious audience. We were truly inspired by the quality of the reflections, the questions, and the conversations that continued well beyond the screening.

Events like this — where cinema becomes a space for dialogue, discovery, and cultural exchange — are exactly what we aim to foster within the Alliance Française de Dallas community.

Thank you again for your presence, your energy, and your participation. We are grateful to everyone who helped make this evening so meaningful.

We look forward to seeing you soon at our upcoming events! ✨
