Bonjour India, France’s cultural festival in India sets the tone, by bringing to you a few evenings/afternoons of summer splendour with movies, meals and music.
A French cinematic-gastronomic experience in the open air.
Grab a glass of wine, a plate of French delicacies. Sit under the sky and enjoy the film. A soirée to meet, to treat, to chat, to regain, reclaim, rejuvenate. Invite your date, your friends or your family!
