Did you know that the first flight in France was made in 1890 by the engineer Clément ADER who also invented the word "avion" and influenced the Wright brothers in America ? French aviation history offers a lot of very famous names like Saint -Exupery, Closterman, Nungesser . But names like Mermoz or Hélène Boucher , the French Amy Johnson , are not so well known and a lot of people think that Roland Garros was a " joueur de tennis" rather than a pilot.
Elisabeth who is a French tutor with Alliance Française will give a talk which will present pilots male and female, the "as des as" of the First World War as well as French pilots who joined the RAF during the Second World War, and many, many others as dedicated and enthusiastic," héros et pionniers des temps modernes". The whole presentation is done with the aid of Powerpoint and has attracted a huge range of interest parties.
This talk is for students taking French tuition with Alliance Française de Bristol but is also open to anyone interested and is suitable for people with a GCSE level in French.
The talk will take place on Friday, 19th November at 7.30pm; For more info:
