We organized this event, in collaboration with the Embassy and The French-American Chamber of Commerce (We are proudly a member).
How about traveling to France without airport hustle, jet lag,…etc? This event is a showcase of France and French culture. In this respect, this particular event is themed ‘La rentrée’.
‘La rentrée’ in France
The word shows up in all kinds of contexts, from the la rentrée politique when the government heads back to Paris to la Rentrée du Cinéma for when the more serious fare kicks summer blockbusters out of the theaters.
But the French take La Rentrée scolaire the most seriously of all, from lengthy news reports on how heavy a child’s schoolbag, le cartable, should be to the announcement of the first teacher’s strike of the school year.
