{Editorial}Namaste!Dear friends, Chers amis,
Happy Monsoon Season !
The next session for general French starts on July 20! Don't miss the admission (until July 18) !
We remind you that it is also possible to sponsor a student. By this way you receive regularly a personalized follow-up. Our next session of French classes for professionals of trekking starts on July 25. With these special bi-annual French classes many Nepalese guides are now francophones in Nepal. Alliance Française in Kathmandu participates actively in the development of tourism in Nepal, 30,000 French people visit Nepal each year!
It's also time to me to say goodbye after two amazing years. I warmly thank all my collaborators, all partners, all friends of the Alliance and all the artists with whom I had the opportunity and the pleasure to work. I had a great time in Nepal. See you soon! All the best to Alliance Française in Kathmandu!
La mousson a bel et bien commencé à Katmandou ! D'ailleurs l'équipe s'en est inspiré pour notre dernière publicité... La prochaine session commence le 20 juillet ! Ne ratez pas les inscriptions (La date limite d’inscription est le 18 juillet !) Nous vous rappelons qu'il est également possible de sponsoriser un étudiant et de le suivre pendant tout son parcours à l'Alliance. Notre prochaine session de Cours pour les professionnels du trek débute le 25 juillet. Cette session bi-annuelle permet aux professionnels du trekking de se former au français ou de se perfectionner pendant la basse saison. Grâce à ces sessions spéciales de nombreux guides Népalais sont désormais francophones. L'Alliance Française de Katmandou participe ainsi activement au développement du tourisme au Népal, 30,000 français visitent le Népal chaque année. Je profite de cet édito pour vous dire au revoir. Après deux années riches et intenses Je remercie chaleureusement tous mes collaborateurs, tous les partenaires et amis de l'Alliance et tous les artistes avec qui j'ai eu la chance et le plaisir de travailler. A très bientôt ! Longue vie à l'Alliance Française de Katmandou !

{Course}FrenCh session For treKKing ProFessionAls
session: 25 July - 19 August Admission: 5 - 22 July
In Nepal, a lot of trekkers come from French speaking countries, creating a growing demand for guides able to work using French language. This is why Alliance Française, with all its experience in educational field, propose a special program for trekking professionals, in order to teach them what they really need to know in French.
These classes (three levels of 40 hours each) are based on an oral approach, to develop all the oral skills needed by the professionals, to speak as naturally as possible.
Q&A "i don’t speak english", "i haven’t my slC" : can i register ?
Any professional can join the classes, either the complete beginner or the one who already speak some French : the former will start from the beginning while the latter will take a test before the session starts to determine what his level is.
No need to be fluent in English to take classes : the levels are taught by Nepalese teachers and the classes are mainly conducted in French.
"But i don’t have much time" : when are organized the classes ?Classes are organized twice a year, during monsoon and winter, and only during four weeks (two hours a day from Monday to Friday).

{Découvrez}
l'AuvergneEntre le feu et l'eau. L'Auvergne est ce "royaume du vert" dont Alexandre Vialatte disait qu'il était un meuble pauvre que la France avait relégué longtemps dans sa mansarde. Terre des volcans (le massif du Cantal est l'un des plus vieux volcans du monde), l'Auvergne est une région magnifique aimée pour ses vallées étroites, ses monts dodus ou
dentelés, ses buttes coiffées de tours féodales, ses chaos en bosse, ses chutes échevelées, ses lacs sombres qu'on dirait fréquentés par les fées.
C'est aussi le pays des Arvernes, un des nombreux peuples de la Gaule, et de leur chef Vercingétorix (le très grand roi des guerriers), vainqueur de Jules César en 52 av J.-C à Gergovie. Quant à Alésia … "Ch'est quoi Alégia ? Nous ne chavons pas ou ch'est Alégia !"
De son histoire, le Massif central a
conservé les traces d'un Moyen Âge florissant de sanctuaires, de forteresses et de cités prospères. En Auvergne, l'art roman s'est épanoui dans plus de deux cent cinquante édifices. Comme les châteaux, les églises et les abbayes sont le reflet du tempérament auvergnat : sans ostentation, sobres, solides, harmonieuses. Autour de ces
sanctuaires admirables, dans ces campagnes retirées du monde, les rochers aux formes fantastiques, les landes infinies, les étangs et les lacs de cratère, mais aussi les orages et les tornades ont donné naissance à cent contes baignant dans le réel ou le fantastique. Qui n'a pas entendu parler de la bête du Gévaudan ?
L'Auvergne c'est aussi : le petit-salé aux lentilles, la potée au chou, le coq au vin, le pot-au-feu, Jules Vallès et Jean-louis Murat, cinq "grands crus" fromagers dont le cantal et le saint-nectaire, Blaise Pascal et Germaine Tillon, les eaux minérales – plates, comme à Volvic, ou gazeuses, comme à Vichy – Michelin et Valéry Larbaud, l'espiègle
Dra (lutin malicieux et tourmenteur), la vielle et l'accordéon (instrument fétiche de Valéry Giscard d'Estaing), Henri Pourrat et Sandrine Bonnaire, la dentelle et le couteau, Georges Pompidou et Nicolas de Chamfort. Entre le feu et l'eau. Découvrez l'Auvergne.
