One of the things I love about our events is the way groups of people – usually strangers to begin with – get to know one other and discover that they have so much in common, even beyond the fascination of France.
Emue books was formed in Melbourne in 2010 by Sophie Marozeau, a Frenchwoman turned Australian. They regularly organize short story competitions to share the spotlight– or rather, the pen – with emerging, modern-day explorers.
Les Français de l'Hexagone n’ont pas le monopole de la littérature francophone. Emue Books l'a bien compris et part à la recherche de ces plumes excursionnistes. Cette maison d’édition créée à Melbourne en 2010 publie de jeunes auteurs francophones ayant tous un point commun : le goût du voyage.
With such a huge rise in popularity, both in France and in the States, some may wonder if the macaron is in danger of becoming a cliché, a product so intensely and frequently marketed as 'French' that it becomes boring and predictable, and more importantly, no longer desirable.
When one thinks of classic French culinary emblems, many things come to mind - the crispy baguette, the buttery croissant, the indulgent pain au chocolat. But in recent years, a certain French pastry has risen in popularity on both sides of the Atlantic– the chewy and delightful macaron.

Now, there is much more to France's most famous castle's estate than only the castle and gardens. There are actually three castles: the main castle, Le Grand Trianon and Le Petit Trianon!
Our next Ma Vie Française™ soirée in Paris is on Thursday 26 July. This one will be even more fun so don’t miss it - request your personal invitation now.
Ms Serafimova is not the author’s rock and roll, in fact she’s not even rock and roll at all. This charming percussionist put on a whole show of jazz and classical drum solos that kicked it in all the right places and helped me to make my peace with drummers.
Come with us to experience French life beyond the cliché.
