Traditional French Galette des rois was organized in Houston on the 17th of January 2024. French Consulate in Houston hosted the event at the initiative of the gadz group based in Texas. We would like to thank Patrice Brossard (Bo 195), DG Amériques, who came up with the idea and helped organizing this event!
A&M students and alumni as well as French speaking University professors and faculty members gathered to celebrate the Epiphany.
This was a great occasion to connect, discuss and feel a sense of belonging to a big French speaking community in Houston.
Looking forward to seeing other Houston-based events in partnership with the French consulate!
