Café-Croissant will be on Saturday 7 September. We will be meeting at 9:30am at Elicious Eatery, Clive Square West, Napier. There is good parking in the middle of town.
It's a great opportunity for breakfast and chat in French, Frenglish or French. There will be a French speaking part of the table avec un petit drapeau français! RSVP to Barbara by Thursday 5 September and include whether you would like croissants. Notre "Café-Croissant" vous permet de rencontrer des francophiles tout en prenant le petit-déjeuner ! |

Dairy and livestock prices have plummeted due to a flood of imports, and farmers are threatened with foreclosure. Mayor Georges Balbuzard (François Cluzet, The Intouchables) does his best to fight and raise awareness of their plight, but the situation isn’t deemed newsworthy for national media. Things seem hopeless... until the day famous American photographer Newman (Toby Jones, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) passes through the village, inadvertently discovering the perfect backdrop for his next shoot. Balbuzard sees a rare opportunity, and sets about convincing the townsfolk - the farmers, the butcher, the pharmacist, some 200 in all - to participate. The catch? They all have to pose naked!" (Alliance Française) Au Mêle sur Sarthe, petit village normand, les éleveurs sont touchés par la crise. Georges Balbuzard, le maire de la ville, n’est pas du genre à se laisser abattre et décide de tout tenter pour sauver son village - AlloCine Authentic and endearing. - Victoria Gairin, LE POINT |
