La fête du Beaujolais Nouveau 2023 🍷🇫🇷

🇫🇷 La fête du Beaujolais Nouveau est une célébration annuelle qui a lieu en France, le troisième jeudi du mois de novembre.
Cette fête marque la sortie du vin Beaujolais Nouveau, un vin rouge léger produit dans la région viticole du Beaujolais, située en Bourgogne, en France. Le Beaujolais Nouveau est un vin rouge élaboré à partir du cépage Gamay. La particularité de ce vin réside dans sa vinification rapide, qui permet de le mettre en bouteille seulement quelques semaines après la récolte. Il est donc très jeune et frais. La fête du Beaujolais Nouveau est l'occasion de déguster ce vin frais et fruité. Les gens se réunissent dans les cafés, restaurants, caves à vin, et lors de soirées conviviales pour partager des verres de Beaujolais Nouveau. Ce vin est réputé pour son goût léger et ses arômes de fruits rouges.

🇬🇧 The Beaujolais Nouveau festival is an annual celebration that takes place in France on the third Thursday of November.
This holiday marks the release of Beaujolais Nouveau wine, a light red wine produced in the Beaujolais wine region, located in Burgundy, France. Beaujolais Nouveau is a red wine made from the Gamay grape variety. The particularity of this wine lies in its rapid vinification, which allows it to be bottled only a few weeks after the harvest. So he is very young and fresh. The Beaujolais Nouveau festival is an opportunity to taste this fresh and fruity wine. People gather in cafes, restaurants, wine cellars, and during convivial evenings to share glasses of Beaujolais Nouveau. This wine is renowned for its light taste and aromas of red fruits.

Today is Mardi Gras (literally, "Fat Tuesday") or le Carnaval in French.🇫🇷

On Mardi Gras, the tradition is to eat beignets (donuts) 🥞🥞🥞

This tradition was to finish stocks of eggs and butter before the fasting period of lent.

Lent is the Catholic tradition of giving up something you love for 40 days. It begins on Wednesday after Mardi Gras.

In France there are big parades in towns such as Nice, Mulhouse, Paris, Dunkirk or Annecy. 🎡

Have you ever celebrated Mardi Gras in France or in your country? 🎭

For the fifth consecutive year, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program recognizes Franklin & Marshall College among the top producing institutions. In the past 10 years, 56 F&M grads and alumni have received awards from The Fulbright Program!

A dedicated Office of Fellowships and pair of advisers help students and alumni navigate the complex application process. In addition, F&M’s Fulbright Fellowship Committee gives invaluable feedback to applicants.

“I’m really touched by how many members volunteer for this committee year after year. We interview every single applicant. We also work with them as they refine their essays to ensure they put forward the best application possible,” said Monica Cable, director of fellowships and senior teaching professor of anthropology.

Another strength “is the breadth and depth of our language studies on campus,” Cable said.

The cohort of Fulbright students for the 2021-22 academic year will be announced in late spring.
