THANK YOU!

We wanted to begin by thanking all of you who have taken part in Le French Festival and the Corn Riots Festival last week-end in Jersey!

It was a fabulous week-end of events that drew together various organisations from the island to bring back some culture and animation into our lives after this difficult period: Le French Festival represented by Alliance Française Jersey and Maison de la Normandie et de la Manche, La Fête du Jèrriais created by L'Office du Jèrriais, Jersey Heritage, the Parish of St Helier and Government of Jersey.

Many thanks to you all for making this event a success!
