France Education Northwest will hold its
9th Annual Celebration of Bastille Day in Seattle !
Saturday, July 14th and Sunday, July 15th
The 2010's celebration was for the first time a two-day festival at the Seattle Center. There were more than 8000 festival attendees!
The festival activities included cooking demonstrations, wine tastings, a Citroën car exhibit, photo contest, fencing demonstrations, children’s activities, as well as booths selling French products from various regions of France. There were also live musical and cultural performances from diverse Francophile groups.Visit our NEW website to learn more!
Le Bistro made the celebration even more delightful by offering guests French fare such as Le Parisien traditional ham sandwich, salmon sandwiches, grilled merguez sausages, assorted cheeses and of course French fries and wine. Bastille Day 2011 was an excellent opportunity for Seattle residents to enjoy French culture and lifestyle, in both the traditional and modern sense.

The 2010 Celebration started with the 2nd Annual Francophile Fruit Tart Contest !
On Tuesday, June 29th, the French-American Chamber of Commerce and France Education Northwest organized the 2nd Annual Francophile Fruit Tart Contest at the Columbia Tower Club.
5 Pastry Chefs were competing for the prestigious 'Wooden Spoon Award' and the honor of being voted 'Best Francophile Pastry Chef in the Puget Sound area'! The participants were: Cornucopia Cuisine, Brasserie Margaux, La Boulangerie Nantaise, The Essential Baking Company (Parisian Star Desserts) and the Four Seasons Hotel.
All tarts incorporated the chefs’ signatures and brilliant ideas linked with the contest’s 2010 theme “Paris, I love you”. One tart was adorned with sprinkled sugar rose petals, one had plums crafted into roses, and another had an Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately, although all the tarts were delicious, there could be only one winner.
Congratulations to .....
Chef Pierre Fauvet at Parisian Star Dessert of The Essential Baking Company!
