Madeleine
Madeleine, named after the iconic little French sponge cake so dear to Marcel Proust, is our new café, fully managed by Alliance Française, only serving products by identified and preferred partner companies.
Starting with a sweet menu featuring coffee and French pastries (madeleines, croissants, chouquettes…), it is now expanding to include savoury lunch options!.
This is an evolving project that will grow based on your feedback and needs.
Opening Hours:
Tuesday to Friday : 8.45am – 6.30pm
Saturday : 9am – 4pm
Closed on Sunday & Monday
Much more than just a café, Madeleine is first and foremost designed as a fully French experience, tailor-made for our community:
The primary goal is to encourage social interaction among our community – students, staff, Amis de l’Alliance and their guests, visitors, and partners. It’s a space for socializing and co-working, perfect for studying or preparing before class.
Fully adaptable, the space will be integrated to the Alliance’s offerings, with activities linked to classes (language workshops, cooking classes, school visits, school holiday camps…), the
cultural programme (talks, debates, screenings, workshops, concerts…), and The French Library services (press corner, books, access to Culturethèque platform, music playlists…).
.
with quarterly photography exhibitions tied to our themes.
with our upcoming Épicerie (grocery corner) offering a selection of French products.
with the possibility for identified partners to use the venue for their own activities.
Madeleine is designed for Alliance Française Friends & their guests. Get your Annual Subscription today!
