Mini-Seasons - Discover the French-Speaking World

Discover Guadeloupe

Although it is a French island, Guadeloupe’s people, personality and culture are the result of a harmonious blending of European, African and East Indian origins. The Alliance Française de Denver is excited to explore this country's unique flair and flavors in our “Discover Guadeloupe” fall cultural week.
