Christmas came early for our children at the Alliance this year, for those who attended the Alliance Française d’Auckland Christmas Fête. All of them had evidently been very good, as they all got a present from Santa!

Nor did the grown-ups miss out. for the Fête, held on Saturday 12th December, two rooms were transformed into a market place; a half dozen stalls with an electric and interesting selection of wares on offer, from original design cards, to children’s clothing, hand-painted porcelain, mosaic tableaux, birds feeders, fare trade beach accesories, AF Christmas delicacies…! The market was open not just to AFA members, but anyone on the look-out for quality hand-made original items.

We would like to thank you all of you who helped us putting this fantastic day together and hopefully next year will be even better.
