Catholic religious holiday is exactly 40 days after Christmas, but it

harvest and marking the midway point of winter. Join the Alliance
Française at Choupette Crêperie 24 Whitney Ave, New Haven,
CT 06510 at 3 PM. Enjoy either a savory or a dessert crêpe or
both! Click here to see the menu. Space is limited to 15 members. First come , first

LES CATACOMBES DE PARIS
PRESENTATION EN FRANCAIS SUR ZOOM
Saturday, February 8, 2025 @ 3:00 - 4:00
Voulez-vous vous plonger virtuellement dans les Catacombes
de Paris avec Christi ? Qu’est-ce qu’il y avait sous Paris avant
les Catacombes ? Pourquoi y a-t-il eu un transfert des
ossements des cimetières de Paris aux Catacombes? Et
pendant la Révolution Française, où a-t-on enterré les cadavres
des nombreuses victimes ? Comment peut-on faire un tour des Catacombes lors d’une
visite à Paris ?
Christi Moraga est la coordinatrice des Evènements de l’Alliance Française de Hartford.
Elle a pris beaucoup de photos dans les Catacombes de Paris pendant un voyage récent
qu’elle va partager avec tous ceux qui oseront découvrir les Catacombes !

EURO-STYLE STRATEGY BOARD GAMES

Do you like Euro-style strategy board games, like Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, or Great Western Trail? Do you love playing these any chance you get? Look no further . . . Come join us at Eric Preudhomme's house in Cheshire, for a fun afternoon playing them around a table. Note that these games are without English text really, so we'll plan on playing them while speaking French as much as possible. If interested, please contact Eric at epreudhomme1@gmail.com, so he can provide you with his address, phone number, and any additional info.
