Culture in Action
LOCAL
Cultural rites and rituals bind a society together and create community. Rites and customs continue to be an essential facet of our local French community. At the Alliance Française de la Péninsule de Monterey we celebrate French art, culture, and food every month of the year. We regularly come together for meals, conversation, and connection. We create moments that members treasure for years to come. Whether honoring a member’s 100th birthday – a true milestone, celebrating un jour férié such as la fête de la Bastille, or observing la Fête des Rois, we revel in all aspects of French culture!
