19.01.2022 France eMotion: It all starts tomorrow at the Alliance Française de Brisbane in West End. France eMotion is a virtual tour of France and the result of a long artistic tradition, inspiring artists and photographers all over the world who have described and captured landscapes. This travel-inspired exhibition consists of 35 diptyques, divided into 4 chapters: From one Arch to Another, O Saisons, O Châteaux, The Dream World of Museums and Metamorphasis. Each diptyque take us on... a journey through time and space. The virtual reality tour was created by Julie Stephen Chheng and Thomas Pons. To give a playful and poetic dimension to the whole experience, a virtual figure moves and metamorphoses through each of the photos. The work of photographs blends into graphic design, bringing together the real and the imaginary that leads to an interesting voyage through space and time. In order to fully experience the tour, you will need to follow these simple steps: 1. Download the free app France eMotion from the Apple App Store or Google Play (don't worry, it's free). 2. Allow access to your camera. 3. Focus on the photos and embark on your virtual tour of France's greatest cultural sites. Bon Voyage!

14.01.2022 THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC! We can all agree that music is one of those things that creates the right atmosphere for any occasion. Throughout our VIP events, the French melodies that filled the air made the perfect ambience and atmosphere. ... It certainly was a treat! Many of you have asked who these artists were.... MERCI BEAUCOUP to Estampa and Cigány Weaver for bringing your wonderful music to our Bleu-Blanc-Rouge VIP events. We loved having you be a part of it by sharing your musical magic with us. MERCI! And it is great to see live gigs are back all over Brisbane. Thank you for the music you provided for our guests. We hope to be able to see you again at more events in the very near future. A bientôt! #LeFestival #alafrançaise #events #culture #music #VIP #bleu #blanc #rouge #musique #lefestivalbne #cestlavie #frenchmusic
12.01.2022 Happy Wednesday 2nd December! Le Festival's Advent Calendar Day #2 Live ~ Laugh ~ Love | Vivez ~ Riez ~ Aimez... DANCE LIKE NOBODY IS WATCHING... Wake up and shake a little. Just dance! Who remembers the film Intouchables? It's such a touching, moving film that can't help but make you feel good, even whilst depicting a presumably difficult scenario. It proves that anything is possible. Today, we would like to share a scene that involves infectious dancing - dancing like nobody is watching, but doing so in a way that gets everyone immersed. Enjoy!
12.01.2022 DIVINE WINES - MERCI! Wine always makes everything better - it is a fact. We definitely felt it throughout our 2020 events! We would like to say a big MERCI BEAUCOUP to our French wine partners, Fourth Wave Wine, for supplying us with Le Chat Noir and Domaine de la Metairaie wines to share with our guests (and have a little sample ourselves!). Sangeeta is a great ambassador. It definitely livened things up and it was superb! Thank you Bottli, VOILA WINE CO for presenting t...wo successful wine masterclasses and Discovervin Wines we really missed you (But 2021 is just around the corner though) Thank you for supporting us throughout these events. We hope to see you again very soon! #lefestivalbne #alafrancaise #events #masterclasses #VIP #wine #tasting #winelover #LeChatNoir #domainedelametairaie #cheers #cestlavie #frenchinaustralia #franceinaustralia #frenchwines
11.01.2022 Happy Friday to all of you and have a wonderful week-end. Today we are sending a special "Thank you" to all our volunteers who work all year round preparing for our major event in July... MERCI TO ALL OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS!... A big part of what makes our events are the people that help us put it together. As with every event in the past, they contribute significantly to the successes. We would like to say a big MERCI BEAUCOUP to all the volunteers who gave generously of their time to help us set up, pack up, and run the event. It would not have happened as successfully without them. MERCI! Thank you also to all the other photographers that joined us to help us capture the highlights of our events. Volunteers make Le Festival what is, and we sure hope to have you join us again in 2020 for more French frivolity! A bientôt! #LeFestival #alafrançaise #events #Brisbane #volunteers #masterclasses #wine #cheese #champagne #helpers #help #volunteer #cestlavie #lefestivalbne
11.01.2022 THE FESTIVE SEASON IS ABOUT TO START... And so is our Facebook Advent Calendar! 2020 has been a strange year, so this festive season is very welcome indeed!... We realise that we need to spread joy, love, good feelings, and happiness, now more than ever. So, this December, we have decided to do a virtual advent calendar right here! How exciting is that?! Everyday at 7am, starting tomorrow morning and until Christmas Eve, we will be posting something uplifting to start the day in a positive way. It may be a fun video, an inspiring quote, a heartwarming photo, a hilarious joke...! Spreading a little sunshine, a day at a time. Come back here each morning from tomorrow until December 24th to see what each day will bring! Feel free to share your feel good links with us as well if you wish, so we can spread the joy! #LeFestival #alafrançaise #adventcalendar #virtual #positivity #sunshine #feelgood #joy #love #french #franceinaustralia #frenchinaustralia #frenchevent
05.01.2022 Happy December 1st! It's the official start of the FESTIVE SEASON! (And also the first day of summer for us in Australia) Le Festival's Advent Calendar Day #1 Live ~ Laugh ~ Love | Vivez ~ Riez ~ Aimez... Noël simply would not be the same without the adorned Christmas tree - each one unique - and many of us will be putting up our own very soon! We thought we would would start the countdown to Christmas by sharing this stunning, fairytale-like Christmas tree that makes us dream - it comes from none other than the renowned Galeries Lafayette in Paris! What a magical sight it is! Of course, all our thoughts go to all the people in France that have been forced into lockdown for many, many, many weeks. Did you know that restaurants and cafes will only be able to reopen on 20th January 2021 if all goes well? How lucky we are here in Australia and in particular in Brisbane!
03.01.2022 TICKLED ROSÉ - MERCI! Summer is only one week away here in Australia. And guess what is synonym to Summer in France: Rosé! There is nothing quite like a delectable French rosé - especially one that comes from Provence! ... We would like to say a big MERCI BEAUCOUP to VOILA WINE CO and Fontayne for bringing us such a divine selection of rosés to share (and sample) throughout our events. They were simply rosé-y! Thank you also for providing some fabulous rosé prizes for our raffles! Thank you for joining us and we hope to see you again for more Le Festival events very soon! #lefestivalbne #alafrancaise #events #masterclasses #VIP #wine #tasting #rosé #aix #raffle #divinewine #cestlavie #frenchinaustralia #franceinaustralia #frenchevent

02.01.2022 DELICIEUX MACARONS... ! During our 2020 "C'est La Vie" events, we had a chance to taste some delicious macarons from a fabuleux local macaron business that we just discovered and who decided to partner with us... And we have been spoiled. Honestly this is a MUST TRY, especially so close to Christmas! Do you remember the delightful bleu-blanc-rouge French macarons served during masterclasses? Or the irresistible red macarons served at the Friday night Rouge soirée?... Well... those were kindly provided by our marvellous macaron sponsor BAKED by Joseph & Ann! We would like to say a big MERCI BEAUCOUP for treating us to such decadent macarons to share with our guests throughout our events! They were truly something special and we cannot wait until the next time we get to enjoy them! #lefestivalbne #alafrançaise #events #macarons #sweets #delicieux #macaronlover #decadence #cestlavie : Ange Costes Photography

And it was wonderful to learn new recipes, try new dishes, and uncover a collection of useful new techniques to bring to our kitchens. A huge ...MERCI BEAUCOUP to the fabulous chef Alexandre Goyard and his great sous-chefs from Spice Central Kitchen & Bar for bringing your culinary knowledge to us.
