French Cultures Festival 

 (Mois de la Francophonie)

Used by over 200 million people and spoken on all 5 continents, the French language unites countries, institutions and individuals. The French-speaking community in different countries brings together people who speak French, a language of education, culture and communication, and who love French culture.

Throughout the month of March 2010, in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, The French Cultures Festival / Mois de la Francophonie will celebrate the French Cultures featuring lectures, films, theatrical shows, concerts, meetings with artists, receptions, parties and even a recreational afternoon for young children focused on discovering the French speaking world.
