Alliance
Française Dublin and
the French
Embassy are delighted to present a new season of Apéro
Scientifique, a series of casual talks in French
about science
& society.
The first event of the year will focus on Energy in the 21st century
with a panel of experts including Antoine
Moreau (optics
researcher, Institut Pascal / Université Clermont Auvergne)
and Rodolphe
Meyer, known as “Le Réveilleur” on YouTube, who
will offer a scientific point of view on carbon tax. After
making headlines during the French Gilets jaunes movement,
and being forgotten by the media, the topic is still relevant as it is complex and polemic. The
event will
presented in
French by Marc
Girod
(Software
Engineer, Salesforce).

Another
new series of workshops by the French
Library this
month,
En cuisine invites you to a step-by-step cooking demonstration
of a traditional French dish.
For the second edition, the French Library team will show you how to
prepare Cordon bleu
and madeleines.
The Cordon bleu
consists of meat wrapped around cheese, then breaded and fried – a dish
that will match perfectly the traditional small cakes from Commercy and Liverdun, two
communes of the Lorraine
region in northeastern
France.
The list of ingredients
and materials will be sent beforehand so that everyone can cook and taste
together! | | | | |
