Editorial
Chers amis de l’Alliance Française d’Ahmedabad,
Il y a toujours une sorte d’excitation à l’aube d’une nouvelle année. Souvent, on se retourne vers l’année qui vient de s’achever et l’on ressent cette envie irrépressible de mieux faire, de viser plus haut au cours de celle qui débute. Certains d’entre nous prennent des résolutions impossibles à tenir, d’autres s’en gardent et pourtant ressentent, au plus profond d’eux-mêmes, un regain d’espoir et d’énergie.
Avoir foi en des lendemains meilleurs est essentiel pour progresser et donner le meilleur de soi-même.
C’est la force qui nous guide tous ici, à l’Alliance Française d’Ahmedabad.
En 2023, notre seul souhait est celui de vous satisfaire, de vous choyer et de vous surprendre. C’est à cette fin que nous allons donner un coup de jeune à nos locaux, pour que venir à l’Alliance – que ce soit pour assister à un cours ou un événement culturel – soit encore plus agréable et plaisant.
« La couleur, c’est la vie » : je crois que c’est une chose que les Indiens ont mieux compris que n’importe quel autre peuple dans le monde ! « Food Mythology », l’exposition de photographies en technicolor de l’artiste française Enora Lalet que nous vous présentons pour démarrer 2023, est un magnifique hommage à cette philosophie.
C’est notre manière à nous de vous souhaiter une heureuse nouvelle année tout en couleurs à nos côtés.
Emmanuel BOTTIAU Directeur
Dear friends of Alliance Française d’Ahmedabad,,
There is always some form of excitement at the dawn of a new year. We often look back at the year that has just come to an end and we feel the urge to do better and to aim higher in the new year.
Some of us make resolutions that are impossible to keep, others don’t, but still feel, deep inside, renewed hope and energy.
Having faith in better tomorrows is fundamental to make progress and give of your best.
This is the force that drives us all here, at Alliance Française d’Ahmedabad
In 2023, our only wish is to satisfy you, to pamper you and to surprise you. To that end, we will be giving our premises a facelift, so that coming to our Alliance - be it to attend a French class or a cultural event - is an even more pleasant and enjoyable experience.
“Colour is life”: I believe this is something that Indians have understood better than any other people in the world!
“Food Mythology”, the technicolour photograph exhibition by French artist Enora Lalet we are showcasing to kickstart 2023, is a wonderful tribute to that philosophy
This is our very own way of wishing you all a vibrant, colourful, and happy New Year with us.
Emmanuel BOTTIAU Director

TESTIMONIAL
As I am moving to Canada for higher studies in the month of dec-22, I knew knowing French would be an asset to have. I joined Alliance Française Baroda in the month of Oct 22 in the A1 batch. The onboarding process was very smooth. AF focuses on teaching French from the basics. Faculties here communicate with students in French only from day one which encourages and pushes the student to speak and understand the language. Faculties here assist you in understanding the French with help of expressions, their body language, songs, and photographs which makes learning various French Expression easier. Other than classes you get to see various French films, and French TV series and listen to beautiful French songs which made me realize how beautiful and rich French culture and language is. All in all, AF provides you with the whole package at very affordable prices.Merci!
