For the next cine club outing, we are going to see an English language film but with French connections! 'Chéri' received good reviews at the Berlin Film Festival. For a full synopsis, please see the link below:

http://www.londonnet.co.uk/films/cheri.html

The film starts at 6.30 but please be there by 6.15 in order to pick up your tickets and meet the group. If, for any reason you turn up late and have bought your ticket through LFM, it will be left on the desk for you to collect. Tickets are only £5 on Mondays when buying for a group of at least 10 so, if you are buying your ticket directly from the IF, please say you are with the French meet up in order to get your ticket at the reduced price.

As usual, we will gather in the foyer after the film to go for a drink at a nearby pub. Next month we will see another film in the French language.

Pour la prochaine sortie du ciné club on ira voir un film dans la langue anglaise mais avec des liens français. Chéri a obtenu les bonnes critiques au Festival du Film à Berlin. Pour en savoir plus, cliquez sur le lien ci-dessous:

http://www.londonnet.co.uk/films/cheri.html

Le film commencera à 18h30 mais il faut arriver vers 18h15 pour prendre votre billet et rencontrer le groupe. Si vous arrivez en retard, quelque soit la raison, et avez acheté votre billet du LFM, il sera laissé au guichet.

Comme d'habitude, nous nous rencontrons au foyer après le film pour aller prendre une verre pour ceux qu'il veulent. Le mois prochain, on ira voir un autre film dans la langue française.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FILM STARTS AT 6.30 SO WE WILL BE GOING INTO THE CINEMA AROUND 6.25. IF YOU HAVE PAID BY PAY PAL AND TURN UP AFTER THIS TIME, THE TICKET(S) WILL BE LEFT FOR YOU ON THE BOX OFFICE DESK. WE WILL MEET IN THE FOYER AFTER THE FILM TO GO FOR A DRINK SO YOU WILL HAVE THE CHANCE TO MEET THE GROUP THEN, IF NOT BEFORE.

Chers membres,

Avec le retour des beaux jours, il est temps de reprendre nos balades londoniennes ! Cette fois-ci nous vous invitons à découvrir le quartier de Covent Garden. Une guide française vous racontera l'histoire fascinante (bizarre et illogique aussi...) de ce quartier qui fut successivement le coeur historique romain de Londres, un potager utilisé par les moines au Moyen-Age (d'ou son nom "convent garden"), un marché de fruits et légumes jusqu'en 1973 et aujourd'hui un centre artistique connu pour ses spectacles de rue ... quel est le rapport entre tout ca? Quelles autres surprises ce quartier nous réserve-t-il encore? Vous le découvrirez au cours de la visite ....

Nous irons ensuite prendre un verre dans un pub du quartier.
Si vous voulez vous joindre à nous, nous demandons une participation de £5 pour les détenteurs de la carte de membre et £7,50 pour les non-membres afin de couvrir les frais de la guide. Attention, le nombre de places est limité à 30 personnes. Vous pourrez payer en cash à une des prochaines soirées du Meetup ou juste avant la visite. Veuillez arriver à l'heure s’il vous plait ! (18h45 !)

N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des questions sur cette sortie.

===================

Dear members,

The good weather is back, so it’s time to have our tours in London again! We invite you this time to visit the area of Covent Garden. A French guide will explain to you the fascinating (as well as bizarre and illogical) story of this area that successively became the historic Roman city centre of London, a vegetable garden used by the monks from Westminster (hence its name "convent garden"), a fruit and vegetable market until 1973 and an artistic area today famous for its street performers. What's the link between all these activities? What other surprises is Covent Garden hiding from us? That's what you will find out during the visit ...

We will have a drink in a pub in this area after the visit.
If you want to join us, please pay £5 if you own a membership card or £7,50 if you don’t. The group is limited to 30 people. You can pay in cash at one of the LFM's next events or just before the tour. And please be on time! (6.45 pm)

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions on this event.

Dear members,
For this meetup we are going to visit the great university town of Cambridge, where we invite you to share the beautiful sights of the colleges and we will visit some of them. We have organised a tour (in French) to show us around the town which will begin at 11 am from the Tourist Information Office. There will also be the opportunity to do some punting on the river as well as visiting the science exhibition that will be happening at the same time. http://www.visitcambridge.org/
Cambridge is outside London and you will need to take a train from Liverpool Street Station. There's a train at 8.58 am which arrives at 10.21 am (trains from King's Cross arrive too late). Tickets are cheaper if bought earlier but here's the link http://www.nationalexpresseastanglia.com/. For those not coming by train, we'll meet up at the front of the station at 10.25am before going to the Tourist Information Office.

Chers membres,
Pour ce meetup, nous allons visiter la magnifique ville universitaire de Cambridge où nous vous invitons à découvrir ses colleges (nous en visiterons un). Nous avons organisé une visite guidée de la ville (en français) qui commencera à 11 heure à l'Office de Tourisme. Nous aurons aussi l'occassion d'aller sur les barques (- typiques de la ville) et de voir l'exposition scientifique (gratuite).
http://www.visitcambridge.org/
Etant donné que la ville de Cambridge est en dehors de Londres, il faudra prendre le train depuis Liverpool Street. Il y a un train à 8h 58 qui arrive à 10h 21. Voici le lien http://www.nationalexpresseastanglia.com/ . Les billets seront moins chers s'ils sont achetés en avance. Pour ce qui ne viennent pas en train, nous nous rencontrerons devant la gare à 10h 25 avant d'aller à l'Office de Tourisme.

La prochaine sortie du ciné club sera pour voir le film 'Entre les murs'. Gagnant du Palme d'Or à Cannes en 2008, c'est l'histoire de la vie d'un collège multi-ethnique à Paris. Les 'acteurs' sont des vrais éleves et un vrai professeur.

The next cine club outing will be to see 'The Class'. Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes last year, it's the real life story of life at a multi-ethnic school in Paris where the roles are played by real students and a real teacher.

Voici un extrait du critique en anglais:
Below is an extract of the review in English:

Take a classroom full of outspoken, multi-ethnic teens from a tough Parisian junior high school, none of them professional actors, add a real-life teacher trying to make a difference, and you’ve got Laurent Cantet’s fascinating portrait of the new France, triumphant winner of the 2008 Palme d’or. François Bégaudeau, from whose non-fiction account of teaching in just such a school the film is adapted, plays himself in this unsentimental, superior addition to the canon of classroom movies, set over the course of an academic year. Perhaps the finest and most important example of his work yet.

Nous avons réservés 10 entrées au prix de £7, disponible sur la base 'first come, first served'. Une fois les tickets sont vendus, vous pouvez en achèter vous-même au guichet, citant le French Meet Up pour obtenir la réduction du prix.

We have reserved 10 tickets, available on a first come, first served basis. Once these tickets are sold, you can buy your own from the box office, quoting the French Meet Up in order to obtain the group discounted price.
