✨ Some photos from the wonderful presentation by François Drémeaux during The French Connections CSUS’ first Spring 2025 semester event. “Transatlantic Migration From France to the U.S. & French Presence Abroad” was an insightful presentation which allowed attendees to learn more about the experience of French immigrants who came to the United States throughout the course of history. 

🤝 Thank you so much to M. Drémeaux for this fantastic lecture and discussion- we were able to learn so much through the presentation and conversation. A huge thank you as well to Honorary Consul of France in Sacramento, Catherine Bonnefoy, who came to show her support and speak about the importance of the French presence in Sacramento and the Consulate’s services. Here is the link to their webpage and the services that they offer (https://www.facebook.com/franceconsularagencysacramento). I would also like to extend my gratitude to everyone who advertised the event and spread the word!

🌎 This was the first of many events that we are looking forward to hosting this semester. Please join us for our next event to continue promoting the French language and Francophone culture. We will update with more information soon!
