La Rentrée

Hello and welcome back!

It has been a while since most of us have seen each other. We hope that you all enjoyed your summer and that your tan has not completely faded!


AU will kick off the fall season with it's first event of the season: a guided tour of Musee Carnavalet (see our Events box on the right for more information). What better way to learn more about this wonderful city we live in? (And we shouldn't really tell you this but there will be a General Paris History category in next month's pub quiz...shhhhh!!! it's a secret!)

Later in October, we will be hosting our most popular event - the AU Pub Quiz! More details will follow later. I don't know about you but I can't wait for this one! This will be the first one I am hosting and I hope that I can be as entertaining as the charming Miss Cooper...Wish me luck!

Keep checking back with us as we will start posting more information on AU future events. We are glad to be back in full force and look forward to a great fall season!

Open-air Cinema @ Parc de la Villete

Hello everyone!

By now, you've hopefully received the AU email or FB invite to our next event at Parc de la Villette. This month Accents United is heading out to the Open-Air Cinema at said Parc to watch "In This World" by Michael Winterbottom.

Here are a few details on the film:
Enayat and Jamal are Afghan refugees who live in a camp in Peshawar and try to escape to Great Britain by the help of people smugglers. The journey to freedom has no borders. Their dangerous journey leads them along the "silk road" through Pakistan, Iran and Turkey towards London.

And now for the important info:
Date: Thursday 13 August
Time: From 20.00 (The films generally start around 22h but we will meet up earlier for a picnic)
Place: at entrance to La Villette, Prairie du Triangle,
Metro: Porte de Pantin (ligne 5)

This year the cinema is free of charge ;-))

I wish I could join you all but I will be on vacation! Have a wonderful August and I will see you at our next event in September!!

Melanie
