Community Member,


Après un week-end d’Halloween qui fera frissonner petits et grands, novembre nous réchauffera avec le retour des beaux jours. À Perth, les jacarandas sont en fleurs, les journées s’allongent, et certains rêvent déjà des premières baignades, avec les vacances d’été qui approchent à grands pas.  Sauf nos élèves assidus, bien sûr, qui savent que l’été se prépare aussi en conjuguant au présent !

Notre Term 4 bat son plein, et nous vous remercions de votre fidélité tout au long de 2026. Débutants ou habitués, enfants, adolescents ou adultes, nos professeures expertes sont heureuses de vous accueillir en classe jusqu’au 19 décembre.

Ce mois-ci, place à la convivialité ! Le samedi 7 novembre, notre traditionnelle Quiz Night est de retour. Trivia bilingue, bonne humeur et brainpower de rigueur ! Que vous jouiez en équipe ou en solo, surprises et lots seront au rendez-vous.

Vous retrouverez aussi vos rendez-vous mensuels : le film en français, le book club, les Actualités en français pour les niveaux avancés, un atelier de cuisine avec Gunnela et notre café conversation. Voir, lire, discuter ou déguster : il y en a pour tous les goûts.

Un œil dès maintenant sur décembre : le mardi 8 décembre, nous dévoilerons notre programme culturel 2027 lors de notre soirée Sundowner x Cocktail, réservée aux membres. Un apéro au coucher du soleil, quoi de plus australien… et de plus français ?

Au plaisir de vous retrouver pour faire vivre la culture francophone en Australie-Occidentale !


Community Member,


After a Halloween weekend that will give young and old a good fright, November will warm us up with the return of sunny days. In Perth, the jacarandas are in bloom, the days are getting longer, and some of us are already dreaming of the first swims of the season, with the summer holidays just around the corner. Except for our dedicated students, of course, who know that summer is also prepared by conjugating in the present tense!

Term 4 is in full swing, and we’d like to thank you for your loyalty throughout 2026. Beginners or seasoned speakers, children, teenagers or adults, our expert teachers are delighted to welcome you in class until 19th December.

This month, it’s all about good company! On Saturday 7 November, our much-loved Quiz Night is back. Bilingual trivia, good vibes and brainpower required! Whether you play in a team or on your own, expect plenty of surprises and great prizes.

You’ll also find your monthly favourites: our film in French, the book club, les Actualités en français for advanced learners, a cooking class with Gunnela and our friendly café conversation. Whether you want to watch, read, talk or taste, there’s something for every francophile.

We’re also looking ahead to December: on Tuesday 8 December, we’ll unveil our 2027 cultural calendar at our members-only Sundowner x Cocktail. A drink as the sun sets: what could be more Australian… and more French?

We look forward to seeing you very soon to keep francophone culture alive in Western Australia!

À très bientôt,
Louise Varnusson - Communication & Events Officer

A big congratulations to Giovanna Bontempi for “Tu auras toujours mon épaule pour te reposer” whose photo will now compete and represent us in the national Say Cheese! contest 

A few words from our winner :  "The photo has been taken in my studio in Bibra Lake on July the 31st 2026, Scarlett, my daughter, and Alice, a French girl that has been living with us since June, are my beautiful models. I believe in the power of supporting each other, in being present for the people we love especially in the dark or hard times. This photo is part of a bigger project on women, divine feminine and our constant battles with mental health, where giving your shoulder (or your time/hand/presence) to someone could be a very important gesture."

A huge thanks to our dedicated and talented jury for taking the time to share their thoughts on the photos we received : Jennie Vartan, Christophe Canato and Martine Perret. 

Head over to @franceinaustralia to vote for your favourite among the 22 finalists (and promote our photo!) from across the Alliance Française network!
