A fun and relaxed quiz night to test knowledge of France and the French language at the Institut français d'Écosse, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary.
The Institut français d'Écosse is hosting a quiz night on Friday 4 December, and it's exactly what it sounds like: a chance to test your knowledge of France and the French language in a relaxed atmosphere. It's not a high-pressure affair, so you don't need to be fluent to get involved — it's as much about the fun of it as the score.
The quiz is part of a wider celebration at the institute, which is marking its 80th anniversary with a full week of events. The centre has been promoting French language and culture in Edinburgh and across Scotland since 1946, and it's part of the larger Institut Français network that runs around the world. If you've been inside, you'll know that every room in the building bears the name of a remarkable figure, a nod to the people who've shaped the culture they champion.
Because it's an anniversary week, there's plenty more to see around the quiz. There's a mapping projection called 80 Years Of The Institut français d'Écosse, a talk on the centre's history, a theatrical journey through the building, and a tribute exhibition by Anne Finlay. If you're coming for the quiz, you can easily fit some of the other bits in around it.
