Alliance Française Rotterdam also stands for French culture. We organise all kinds of cultural activities all year round. 2009 / 2010 has been a fine cultural season for us indeed.
Alliance Française Rotterdam wins museum Night Prize!Alliance Française Rotterdam won the Golden Moon for its contribution to the 2010 Rotterdam Museum Night. This year’s theme was XS/XL. The jury greatly complimented the professional approach and atmosphere of Alliance Française Rotterdam.Nor did we allow the Grand Départ of the tour de France to pass by unnoticed. We organised a well-attended Tour Night with cycling specialists and a wine-tasting event.The Fête de la musique is a French festival held on the longest day of the year (June 21). This year we celebrated it together with our students and French chanson adepts. And of course art lovers received their fair share this year with an interesting lecture on the Yves Saint Laurent private art collection and several exhibitions. This course year we are pleased to be able to offer you a fine cultural programme again! So if you wish to remain posted on our cultural activities, just register for our newsletter at www.alliancerotterdam.nl.
