French Nights – Les montgolfières!

Les montgolfières! Albuquerque’s Balloon Fiesta is the world’s largest, and we owe it all to the French, specifically les frères Montgolfier, who invented the globe aerostatique in the 1780’s. Come learn a bit of the early history and French vocabulary of ballooning!

French Nights – Pichenotte AKA Crokinole

Pichenotte AKA Crokinole: A fun disc-flicking game possibly from French Canada… The origin of the game is unclear, but what’s clear is that it’s a lot of fun, easy to learn, but hard to master! Come learn the rules and basic terms, while we sip some wine by the warm fireplace. Maryse will bring her crokinole “pichenotte” board; please bring yours if you have one!
