Step inside the world of diplomacy with Monsieur Martin Juillard, Consul General of France in Sydney, as he offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at global affairs before his next international post.
Hosted by Olivier Vojetta, this conversation goes beyond farewell — it’s a deep dive into real-world diplomacy, exploring high-stakes decision-making, geopolitical tension, and the delicate balance between personal conviction and state duty.
Gain insights rarely shared in public, from one of France’s most seasoned diplomats.
Discover our series of philosophy meet-ups - à la française!
During these themed sessions moderated by published author, Olivier Vojetta, explore ideas of social and cultural importance,
unpack contemporary issues and re-examine how you understand the world. Each meet-up is an opportunity to engage in friendly debate
and discussion over a glass of wine, whilst practising your French speaking, listening and comprehension skills.
We recommend French level B2+ to participate. No additional preparation is necessary.
Olivier Vojetta was born in Nancy, France and lived in London for more than 10 years before moving Down Under with his Australian wife. He is a fiction writer who has published several novels in French.
Please note that a separate booking is required to attend each session.
