Bonjour Philadelphie! I, the Little Sparrow, have returned from beyond the grave again to celebrate Bastille Day with the Alliance Française de Philadelphie. While there will be no walls, Tastykakes, or revolutions, we can still sing French songs in a bad French accent.
From mes amis in the Alliance:
Tous ensemble ! We will meet at the beautiful Boathouse at FDR Park for a fun, open to all and family-friendly afternoon picnic to celebrate Bastille Day.
This year, we will have the honor to welcome John Jarbeaux, for a special performance by Edith Piaf and the Bearded Ladies Cabaret!
There will be games, trivia, and a paper airplane contest for game lovers, but also tables, chairs, shade and the possibility to Bring Your Own Picnic if you’d rather relax!
Bringing the ALL in ALLiance, we encourage members, students, francophones, francophiles and friends of all ages and interests to join us for this event.
