Diplomacy and delicacies
On June 14, 2024, we, the French course Q2, spent a day learning about French history and culture. Our day began at 9:50 a.m. in high spirits, enjoying authentic French pastries (Merci, Aux délices normands!). The first item on our agenda was a visit to the Ambassade de France. We were warmly welcomed there after passing through a security check. During the tour, we explored the outstanding architecture and art. We also learned a lot about working in an embassy and about the special role of the French embassy in Berlin in preserving and strengthening the Franco-German friendship. Afterwards, we quickly made our way to the Federal Foreign Office, where we were given an insight into the historical importance of the French language in everyday diplomatic business.
