Alliance Française de Denver

Merci beaucoup ! We had a full house at the Alliance last Thursday for an evening honoring France's vital role in the success of the American Revolution, exploring the diplomacy, and wartime strategy that shaped this historic alliance.

A special thank you to Jeffrey Richards, Former Honorary Consul of France in Denver, for sharing such a fascinating and insightful presentation on this pivotal chapter of history.

Presentation in English, with a bilingual discussion to follow.

What a celebration! Despite the heartbreak of seeing France eliminated from the World Cup, that didn’t stop nearly 100 of us from coming together to celebrate Bastille Day on July 14th at the Alliance!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so special. Moments like these remind us that community, culture, and joie de vivre always triumph, World Cup result or not!

One more time, Les Bleus!

We admit it, we rooted for England against Argentina. But that truce is over. Saturday it’s Les Bleus all the way!

Join us at Stoney's Bar & Grill this Saturday, July 18th at 3PM for the third-place match against England. It’s not the final we dreamed of, but Les Bleus deserve one last send-off in style.

Jerseys on, drinks up, let’s give this World Cup the ending it deserves. One final watch party! RSVP at www.afdenver.org

See you at Stoney’s!
