Visite guidée en français à Bayou Bend
Dans le cadre de Le Petit Cercle, la nouvelle série de visites culturelles en français de l’Alliance Française de Houston, nous vous invitons à découvrir Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens lors d’une visite guidée entièrement en français.
Pour cette première édition, Katherine Shen, guide bénévole de Bayou Bend, accueillera un groupe privilégié de seulement six membres de l’Alliance Française pour une découverte de cette remarquable maison historique et de ses collections d’arts décoratifs américains.
Cette visite en petit comité offrira l’occasion d’explorer Bayou Bend autrement, d’échanger directement avec notre guide et, bien sûr, de vivre l’expérience entièrement en français.
Katherine, ancienne élève de l’Alliance Française de Houston, possède une solide expérience comme guide et propose également aujourd’hui des visites en français dans plusieurs musées de Caroline du Nord. De passage à Houston, elle nous fait le plaisir de guider cette toute première édition de Le Petit Cercle.

Et si l’amour et le désir n’étaient pas seulement une affaire personnelle, mais aussi une affaire de culture ?
À l’occasion de son passage à Houston, l’Alliance Française de Houston a le plaisir d’accueillir Maïa Mazaurette pour une conférence consacrée aux différences culturelles entre la France et les États-Unis en matière d’amour et de sexualité.
Après six années passées aux États-Unis, et un mariage avec un Américain, Maïa Mazaurette explore ce qui sépare - et rapproche - les deux pays en amour et en sexualité. Comment ces deux cultures s'influencent-elles l'une l'autre ? Quels clichés tenaces méritent d'être déconstruits - et lesquels sont effectivement fondés sur des faits documentés ? La pop-culture et la statistique permettent de révéler que certains de nos fantasmes érotiques sont surtout... des fantasmes culturels.
La conférence sera suivie d’un temps d’échange avec le public, pour prolonger la discussion et poser vos questions à Maïa.
