Bottlerocket Social Hall 1226 Arlington Ave, Pittsburgh, PA, 15210 |
The Steelers are playing the first-ever NFL game in Paris, which means it’s time for the Paris of Appalachia to brush up on its French. The Pittsburgh chapter of the Alliance Française is heading to Bottlerocket to teach you the essentials: how to scream DÉFENSE!
(good news, you already know this one), how to beg the DJ to play “Renegade,” and how to order an Iron City Light at a Parisian bistro. Plus, we’ll dig into our region's French history (including the hot debate over the pronunciation of North Versailles) and discover the
surprising similarities between French and Pittsburghese.
Afterwards, stick around to watch the game on the big screen. Hope to see you there!
Event has ended.
