March is the month of Francophonie!

March 20 is known internationally as Francophonie Day. French is spoken on all five continents and is the fifth most spoken language on the planet. Maine has a rich French history, which is still vibrant thanks to Mainers of Acadian, Cajun or Quebecois origins, of Francophone African descent or Francophone European origin. Alliance Française du Maine is honored to partner with USM Franco-American Collection; we are happy to invite all Francophone and Francophile Mainers to join us honoring Francophonie month through diverse events for all ages.
