Bastille Day Party

The countdown is on for our spectacular Bastille Day celebration — and this year, we're turning up the excitement!

We're thrilled to announce a brand-new venue: the iconic Greenwood Hotel, just steps from North Sydney Station.

This year's theme is all about celebration — we're marking the 130th anniversary of the Alliance Française de Sydney! Get ready for an unforgettable evening packed with live entertainment and festive cheer.

PHILO BISTRO

Behind the scenes of Galimard with Jean-Marie Laclavetine

With over 30 years of experience, Laclavetine has shaped French literature from both sides of the page — as a writer and as a key figure behind Gallimard’s editorial vision. He has launched breakthrough authors like Joffrine Donnadieu, championed contemporary “littérature du réel” alongside voices like Camille Laurens, and worked closely with Antoine Gallimard to steer the house through shifting literary trends.

Chantons en français !

The award ceremony will take place on September 26th.
There will be 3 award categories: Best solo, Best group and Best band

Don’t miss this opportunity to shine!
