Visit of the exhibition Ocean: Diving Into The Unknown

The First Lady began her visit with a tour of our current exhibition Ocean: Diving into the Unknown. Produced and designed by the French National Museum of Natural History, this immersive journey into the hidden wonders of the underwater world invites visitors to explore the mysteries of the deep sea and offers a rare glimpse into France's rich maritime heritage and its deep ties to literature, art and environmental science. Accompanied by an expert guide, Madame Macron gained unique insights and a deeper understanding of the fascinating stories behind each exhibit.

Q&A with students in the library 

Following the exhibition, Madame Macron joined a group of our French students for a private Q&A session in our library. This intimate and meaningful exchange offered a rare opportunity for open dialogue, during which students asked thoughtful questions about her multifaceted role as First Lady.

The gathering concluded with a profoundly moving tribute to French literary heritage. A group of students recited select verses from Poèmes Saturniens by Paul Verlaine, a cornerstone of French Symbolist poetry. Their heartfelt performance touched everyone present, creating a special moment of connection and reminding us of the power of language and art to unite people.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Madame Brigitte Macron for her generosity, attentiveness, and unwavering support of the French language and its global community. Her visit will remain a cherished memory for everyone involved, and an inspiration for our continued work in fostering cross-cultural dialogue and education. Madame Macron’s presence reaffirmed the mission of Alliance Française de Singapour: to be a vibrant and welcoming hub for French language and culture.
