Our Fête de la Rentrée 2025 was such a success, and it’s all thanks to you. Merci to everyone who came to celebrate with us. 
We were especially honored to welcome our new Consul General of France in Houston, Frank Marchetti, Vice Consul François Chassaigne-Audouin, and the team from Villa Albertine, along with the Délégation du Québec, whose presence made this celebration even more meaningful.  
 
A special merci to our patron Sebastien Boileau, and artist Émilie Duval, for joining us and sharing her exhibition “Architecture of Digital Existences”, now on view at the Alliance until December 17 — a true highlight of the evening. 
 
From quizzes and pétanque to French food by la Colombe d’Or, drinks, and endless conversations, the event was full of joy and connection. None of this would have been possible without our amazing staff, teachers, and volunteers, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring everything together.  
 
Merci again for being part of this celebration — here’s to many more evenings like this!
