Fireworks on National Day, music filling the streets, and various lively activities that invite participation—In France, festivals are not just holidays, but an integral part of life! These celebrations are not only fun but also carry historical, cultural, and social significance, shaping the daily lives and identity of the French people.
From official ceremonies to folk festivals, how do French celebrations embody cultural values? How do they influence social cohesion and public life? Professor Parisot will explore the historical context and contemporary meaning of French festivals in this lecture, analyzing their role in cultural heritage and social development. This will be complemented by Professor Liu’s course on “European Festival”, offering a deeper understanding of French festival culture!
