Past Events

Kick off the season with us at our Sunset Soirée at Le Bain! Raise a glass to another year of bold performances, unforgettable films, and vibrant cultural experiences at L’Alliance New York. For the occasion, the icon of New York nightlife, Susanne Bartsch, will be making a special appearance along with DJs Mikaela and 4AM NYC – join us on the rooftop before heading to Bartsch’s signature party downstairs. 

When a young aspiring musician (Anna Mouglalis) learns of a strange past connection to a famous concert pianist (Jacques Dutronc), she feels compelled to meet him. His embrace of her presence sparks the jealousy of his son and, more perilously, his devoted third wife (Huppert).

For his truly fitting swan song, Wiseman focuses his camera on the Troisgrois family, who for generations have run three restaurants in central France. The result is a highly detailed look at a bustling yet civilized and creative environment, the owners never tiring in the desire for continued greatness.

In the most playful film of the Chabrol-Huppert alliance, petty scam artists Betty (Huppert) and Victor (Michel Serrault) join the big time when Betty eyes a larger target. As they enter dangerous new territory, it’s not always clear who’s playing who, but that’s all just part of the fun.

Join us at L’Alliance New York for an inspiring CreativeMornings, featuring a complimentary breakfast and networking with local creatives. Don’t miss this chance to connect and be inspired!

In celebration of Bastille Day, we present Renoir’s epic historical drama, which chronicles the French Revolution’s onset through fictional volunteers fighting for their country and characterizations of historical figures. Said Bertrand Tavernier of the film: “There’s a grounding, a strength, a lyricism, and openness of mind.”

Jacques Tati’s first color film brings back the endearingly clumsy Monsieur Hulot, hopelessly at odds with the advancements of modern life and hilariously out of place in his sister’s geometric, mechanized home. Winner of the 1959 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Mon oncle remains one of cinema’s most delightful comedies.

Opening the Cannes Film Festival last year, Leave One Day is a charming, heartwarming musical following Cécile (Juliette Armanet), who returns to her native village after her father’s heart attack; a reunion with her teenage crush stirs long-buried memories. Amélie Bonnin’s debut is a warm, retro-tinged feel-good film, punctuated by songs that linger long after the credits roll.

Bastille Day returns to Madison Avenue on Sunday, July 12, with this year’s vibrant theme: Montmartre to Manhattan – Celebrating 250 Years of French American Creativity.. The street will transform into a celebration of French culture, creativity, and joie de vivre.

Premium shopping returns to The French Garden, located between 61st and 62nd Streets on Madison Avenue, featuring Printemps New York, Président, Angelina Paris, Café d’Avignon, Cartolina Nantucket, Mille-Feuille Bakery and more.
