There’s change in the air at the Alliance Française de Karachi!

Our library and café recently got a makeover. We went around with our camera to explore…

Côté Jardin, our little café by the gardens, got a major overhaul. There's a new menu, a new chef, plants, and lots of art, photography, and posters on the walls.

Meanwhile, in the library, the books are settling into their new homes…

The pianoforte is sitting proudly in the center of the library, ready to greet bookworms and visitors…

One corner of the library is getting ready for the inauguration of Campus France Pakistan, where students and researchers curious about studying in France, can find resources and opportunities.

You’ve probably seen Hanif and Martin busy at work around the library these past few days, making things, painting furniture, moving around heavy bookshelves, and hauling in plants, cartons, and power tools. They’ve done all of this without a common spoken language, managing with a mixture of English, Urdu, and French. Bravo les gars !

Did you know that Hanif has been on the Alliance team for nearly a quarter of a century? So much of our work here wouldn’t be possible without his solid work ethic. Un grand merci to him and the rest of our team.

Come see all the revamped spaces for yourself!
