  Mark your calendars!

  On Sunday, February 2nd, 2025, from 3 to 5 PM, the Alliance Française of Kansas City invites you to an afternoon of indulgence, fun, and a little bit of chaos—just like France’s love affair with cheese.

  Join Tasha and Jean-Louis, for a Cheese Class!

  We’ll savor five iconic French cheeses (handpicked to wow your taste buds), paired perfectly with wine, while exploring the deliciously complicated relationship between the French and their cheeses.

  After all, as Charles de Gaulle famously quipped: "Comment voulez-vous gouverner un pays qui s'enorgueillit de posséder 365 variétés de fromages?" ( "How can anyone govern a country that has 365 varieties of cheese?")

  Spots are limited to 10 participants, so don’t miss this chance to immerse yourself in the most flavorful of French traditions.

  Did you know Gemma Bovery (free on Amazon Prime, Kanopy etc .. ) is a modern twist on Gustave Flaubert’s classic Madame Bovary?

  Both explore themes of longing, dissatisfaction, and romantic ideals—Emma Bovary in 19th-century France, and Gemma in a contemporary setting. While Emma's story is a critique of romanticism, Gemma Bovery adds humor and a meta perspective through Fabrice Luchini’s character, Martin, who watches her life unfold like a novel.

  Want to dive deeper? You can also watch "Madame Bovary" starring Isabelle Huppert on Kanopy (free with a library card). Compare the timeless classic with Gemma’s modern journey! It's an adaptation of the novel, Madame Bovary from Gustave Flauber.

  Here’s how it works:
  1️⃣ Watch the movie at home beforehand. It’s available for free streaming on Amazon Prime and Kanopy (accessible with a library card).
  2️⃣ Join us for the discussion on February 6th at 6 PM. Share your thoughts, interpretations, and favorite moments in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

  RSVP now to secure your spot. Spots are limited.

  Let’s dive into the world of literature, humor, and a little romance together. See you there!

  Bon niveau de français recommandé.
