## About Festivals & Celebrations

You do not need a flight ticket to experience the spirit of France. We open our doors for community celebrations like the Francophonie Mela and Bastille Day, where you can catch theatre performances, film screenings, and art exhibitions in our M.L. Bhartia Auditorium. Keep in mind that for our popular events, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is a good idea to reach the campus a bit early.

Whether you are a French language learner, an art enthusiast, or just curious, our events are designed for everyone. We believe in building a space where conversations happen in Hindi and French over cups of chai and croissants. Our M.L. Bhartia Auditorium is the heart of our stage productions, music evenings, and weekly Ciné-Club screenings. If you are looking for visual art, the Galerie Romain Rolland hosts exhibitions that mix Indian and French creativity. Beyond the big festivals, we host Speak Dating sessions to practice conversation and specialized workshops ranging from creative writing to comics. Everything we do is about bringing a piece of French life to Delhi while keeping it accessible. Most of our events are free and open to all, allowing you to meet like-minded people in a relaxed, inclusive setting. We invite you to simply walk in, grab a seat, and find your community of Francophiles.

## About Alliance Française

We are more than just a language center, we are a hub for all things French in the city. Come join our community of learners, artists, and culture enthusiasts for an afternoon of discovery and connection.
