Dear Community Member,

Get ready to ride into French summer with our Tour de France 2026 Series, a celebration spread across three lively evenings at Alliance Française, each inspired by an iconic stage of the race. It’s a chance to experience the Tour beyond the peloton through stories, landscapes, flavours, and expert insights, all brought to life with live updates, tastings, and, when possible, race broadcasts.

Open to everyone, each night blends relaxed conversations, engaging presentations, and interactive moments guided by passionate speakers and cycling journalists.

Choose how you join the adventure: ease in with a Solo Stage Pass, double the fun with a Breakaway Duo, or go all the way with the Grand Tour Pass. The more evenings you attend, the more you save! Gather your crew, set your pace, and savour three unforgettable evenings of cycling spirit and French art de vivre. Check our dedicated webpage for more info and bookings!

And because July simply wouldn’t be July without a touch of fête, we’ll be celebrating Bastille Day a little later on 18 July with a delicious evening dedicated to French gastronomy. Think generous flavours, a warm atmosphere, dancing into the night, and a raffle filled with delightful surprises. Bookings are open!

Finally, looking ahead, enrolments are now open for our Winter Break courses, perfect for brushing up your conversation skills or revising key notions, as well as for Term 3 classes. Our current members can take advantage of an early bird offer (the perfect excuse to keep the momentum going!).

A très bientôt,

Alexandre Allais – General Manager
