Chers Membres,
If, like me, you forgot that the Franco-Irish Literary Festival is taking place online right now here is your chance to catch up and join in. The email below, which dropped into the Cercle inbox this morning, contains information and links which should help.
So far I have tried only the first link (“replay the show”) and it works.
Have fun exploring and 'bon festival'.
À bientôt, Philip
