| What a night! 🎵
A heartfelt merci to everyone who joined us for the FNZCCI x Air Liquide Gala Dinner 2026 – Fête de la Musique at Pullman Auckland.
What made the evening so special was the people in the room - members, partners, sponsors and friends of the Chamber - both new and familiar faces from across the French-Kiwi community!
The evening had exactly the atmosphere our team had worked so hard to create: lively, welcoming and convivial, with a wonderful energy in the room. It was fantastic to see guests enjoying each moment, from the welcome apéritif and Photo Booth to the live performances, raffle draw and conversations around the tables.
We were honoured to welcome HE Laurence Beau, Ambassador of France to New Zealand and the Cook Islands, whose keynote address highlighted the strength of the French-New Zealand relationship.
Our sincere thanks to Air Liquide, Naming Sponsor, and to all our sponsors and partners for making the evening possible: BNP Paribas, Danone, VINCI Construction Grands Projets, L'Oréal Groupe, Orange Business, Edmond de Rothschild Heritage, Pullman Auckland, Coromandel chocolate , French Film Festival Aotearoa, French Kiss Crêperie, L'Authentique New Zealand Charcuterie, Maison Vauron and Paneton French Bakery.
Merci also to our talented performers, Heimiti Beziac, and Christelle Ridon and her dancers, whose performances brought elegance, energy and a real sense of occasion to the evening.
📷 A special thank you to Craig Walsh from Front Row Production for capturing the night so beautifully.
