Art, literature, poetry, yes, but not only that... What would France be without its gastronomy, its wine or its good manners? French life, often portrayed romantically in the cinema, offers a French way of life that is sometimes difficult for foreigners to understand. Knowing how to cut a cheese in the right way, knowing how to adress a person ("tu" or "vous" in French), are important details that will serve to enrich your exchanges in French. Conferences give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in French culture!
