It’s French Quiz time again:
Question 1: Who was the French President before Macron ? a) De Gaulle b) Sarkozy c) Hollande ?
Question 2: Which of the following regions do you MOST associate with white wine? a) Bordeaux b) Alsace c) Burgundy ?
Question 3: What is the connection between the Astrolabe Reef and Welcome Bay’s D’Urville Way ?
Yes, some of the questions are multi choice and some do require an answer, but, if you’re a quiz junkie, interested in things French and looking for a fun evening served with coffee and a delicious dessert, then come along to our annual Bastille Day French Quiz to be held a little early this year on Thursday July 12th. Questions are in English but for those who wish to self test their knowledge of the French language, there’s a French version as well. However, very sorry, still no prizes of trips to Paris or Noumea.

Venue: Ohauiti Hall, 459 Ohauiti Road, just after Boscabel.
Quiz Start Time: 7pm
Cost: $15 - This covers the quiz, coffee and dessert.
Bring: Yourself, your friends, your partners, in fact anyone who wants to have fun and discover what they know about all things French.
