La French Week is a monster party happening throughout Brisbane from Monday, 9 July until Sunday, 15 July, 2018 which includes
Bastille Day celebrations on Saturday, 14 July. As in any celebration of everything French
Alliance Francaise de Brisbane is helping to make this a wonderful experience for everybody and that includes the kids.
Working in conjunction with the
Brisbane City Council Libraries Alliance Francaise has arranged some wonderful events especially for the youngsters or, as they say in France,
"Voici ce qu'il y a pour les enfants".
