Francophonie 2010 (3/3): Swiss Night at the French Library of Boston
On March 25th you could follow the smell of cheese to reach the entrance of the French Lib on Marlborough street: The French Library/Alliance Francaise of Boston celebrated the cultural treasures of Switzerland as part of the traditional national night of La Quinzaine de la Francophonie.
In close partnership with swissnex Boston the French Lib welcomed more than 150 guests, eager to discover regional tastings of Switzerland such as a delicious and aromatic home-made Raclette, traditionally served with white wine. Two bands with young Swiss musicians from Berklee College of Music (Gabriela Heer and Massimo Buananno) gave a taste of what Switzerland’s next generation of talented artists could look like.
Hadi Barkat, founder of Helvetiq, the Swiss board game, organized an unique networking exercise that united French and English speaking guests in a bilingual quiz about Switzerland.
Have a look at the Helvetiq website to get to know more about the game!
