Jules Verne’s boardgame afternoon!

 For everyone
Free

Let's play together!

Step into the extraordinary worlds of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas or Journey to the Center of the Earth through board games. Whether you’re a experienced gamer or just curious, enjoy the thrill of rolling dice and strategising your way to victory. Bring your friends or make new ones, the event is open to everyone: French speakers, learners, and non-French speakers alike! Game night! Play in whatever language you like, sprinkling in a few French words here and there!

Volunteers will be assisting throughout the afternoon to explain the games and offer advice. Of course, the evening will conclude with a buffet open to all participants!

From 15 October to 5 December 2025, the Consulate General of France and the Alliance Française will celebrate the legacy of Jules Verne through a series of events marking the 120th anniversary of his passing. Among the activities planned are a boardgame afternoon, an exhibition at the Central Library, a model-making workshop at the Alliance Française, an improvisation show at the Fringe, a literary anniversary celebration at Parenthèses, a screening of the film ‘April and the Extraordinary World’, and many other surprises to discover!
