Festivals in French Guiana
1 Read Jeanne’s blog.
J’habite la Guyane française, une région française qui se trouve en Amérique du
Sud. Comme tous les Français, nous fêtons la fête du quatorze juillet et Noël. Les
jours fériés sont les mêmes qu’en France, mais en Guyane française, nous en avons
quelques-uns de plus.
Cependant, pour nous, la fête la plus importante est le festival du 10 juin. Ce jour-là,
il y a des conférences et du théâtre pour présenter l’histoire du pays aux habitants.
