Tour of Lautrec Exhibit at Bruce Museum
2017-10-25 09:00
The Alliance Française invites you on October 25th to join them on their
Fall museum tour. We are traveling to the Bruce Museum
in Greenwich to see the “In the Limelight” exhibit of the works of artist
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and view a film featuring the works of Post
Impressionist Paul Cezanne.
Our guided tour will showcase Toulouse-Lautrec’s portraits of the
dancers, singers and other performers who became the icons of the
Parisian nightlife in the late 19th century. The exhibit explores the
relationship between portraiture, caricature, and rise of the cult of
celebrity in Belle Epoque Paris.
The film will view from 10:30am until 11:30am. The guided tour begins at
12:30PM. Admission for the guided tour exhibit of Toulouse-Lautrec and the film
on Paul Cezanne will be $12.00, payable at the door.
Please reserve a space by emailing afnwct@afnwct.org or calling AFNWCT
by phone (203-707-0710) by Monday, October 23rd.
The group will carpool from the AFNWCT Center, at 1 Pomperaug Office Park,
leaving at 9AM. In your email or phone call, please include your name, email address,
phone number, and whether you can offer transportation or will need transportation.
The tour is limited to 25 visitors, so reserve now!

La Fête des Rois
2018-01-07 14:00 - 16:00
LA FETE DES ROIS
Please join us in celebrating the peak of the holiday season in the Christian tradition, the commemoration of the arrival of the three kings with gifts for the newborn Jesus. The traditional Epiphany galette, or king’s cake, which dates back to Roman times, will be served. Secretly hidden in this cake will be a treasure that will raise its finders to the level of royalty.
Join us on January 7th at 2PM at the Alliance Française Center for this tradition. The price will be $10 for all that attend. Please RSVP by January 3rd by sending a check to ANWCT, 1 Pomperaug Office Park, Suite 301, Southbury, CT 06488.
Please come and be a King or Queen for the day!

Chandeleur
2018-02-11 14:00 | Baker Residence, 31 Clearview Drive, Sandy Hook (Newtown), CT, 06482-1333
Gather with fellow Francophones in celebrating winter with a glass of cidre and a freshly prepared crepe made by our expert chef, Rich Stoops.
There are many different traditions that surround the holiday of the Chandeleur. Though La Chandeleur is often associated with the Catholic holiday Candlemas, the lighting of candles, it actually comes from pagan traditions. Some say Chandeleur celebrates the return of sunny days in the winter, compared to our celebration of Ground Hog Day, the crepes symbolizing the sun, others believe that using flour left over from the harvest ensures prosperity in the coming year.
There is also the traditional coin ritual: if you flip a crepe while holding a coin in the other hand, you and your family will not have to worry about financial difficulties.
Whatever your traditions, please join us at the Baker residence for a delightful winter’s day. Scheduled for February 11th. (Snow date, February 25th, at 2pm).
Members $10.00, Non-members $15.00
A RSVP is required by February 7th.
If paying by check, please send your payment to:
AFNWCT, 1 Pomperaug Office Park, Suite 301, Southbury, CT 06488
Reservations can also be made at the website: www.afnwct.org
