Join the Alliances Françaises de Portland and de Seattle for
a guided tour in French of the Seattle Art Museum’s exhibition Farm to Table – Art, Food, and Identity in the Age of
Impressionism
(organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Chrysler Museum of Art.).
This unique cultural getaway invites you to (re)discover Seattle through a French lens. Meet the team and members of the Alliance Française de Seattle, connect with fellow Seattle Francophiles, and enjoy optional group lunch and dinner gatherings.
Choose from a delightful day of experiences — lunch, the guided museum tour, and a special dinner. Details and pricing for each are outlined below.
Lunch (for Portland participants) at Café Campagne, 12:30 pm
Start the day on a delightful note with a relaxed, convivial lunch before heading to the museum. This is the perfect chance to meet fellow travelers from Portland, share conversation in French, and enjoy a leisurely meal together. A short interest form will be sent to registered participants to gauge attendance.
Pricing:
We’ll reserve a table to make sure everyone has space, but lunch is à la carte, and participants will pay directly at the restaurant.
Visite guidée en français, at Seattle Art Museum, 2:30pm - 3:30pm

cuisine, discover insights into French national identity, history, and artistic practice. The 60-minute guided tour will highlight
works in Farm to Table: Art, Food, and Identity in the Age of Impressionism, a temporary exhibition organized by the
American Federation of Arts and the Chrysler Museum of Art.
