Notre Nuit de la Poésie est de retour, et cette fois – en personne ! Pour sa 6ème édition, nous nous réunirons dans l'auditorium de l'Ambassade de France pour permettre à un plus grand nombre de participer.
Cet événement est organisé par l'Alliance Française dans le cadre du Festival de la Francophonie à Washington.
Saviez-vous que de nombreux pays, qui n'ont pas le français comme langue officielle, font partie de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, soit en tant que membre, membre associé ou observateur ? Par exemple, des pays comme la Grèce, la Géorgie, la Serbie, l'Arménie, la Moldavie, la Roumanie, l'Ukraine font tous partie de la Francophonie !
Rejoignez-nous pour écouter une sélection de poèmes du monde francophone, récités dans la langue originale et dans sa traduction en français. Écrivez-vous de la poésie ? Partagez vos vers lors du micro ouvert !
L'entrée est gratuite, mais l'inscription est obligatoire. Les dons sont appréciés et soutiennent les programmes culturels de l'Alliance Française de Washington DC.

The Alliance Française is organizing this evening celebrating the poetry of le monde francophone as part of the DC Francophonie Festival.
Did you know that many countries, which don’t have French as their official language, are part of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, either as a member, an associated member or an observer? For example, such counties as Greece, Georgia, Serbia, Armenia, Moldova, Romania, Ukraine are all part of Francophonie!
Join us to hear select poems from around the Francophone world, recited in the poem’s original language and its translation in French. Have poetry of your own? Bring it along to share during the open mic session!
