Lovers of all things French, rejoice - Le Renault French Festival is back for 2018. This year, it's even bigger, longer and better. Renault is the main sponsor for this second edition!
Taking over Shed 10 and The Cloud from 8 to 10 June, the festival will showcase the best of French cuisine and culture.
There are a number of events you can attend this year including a market packed with French delicacies, fashion and activities, an exquisite dinner and fun masterclasses that will help you master the art of French wine and cheese.
The biggest French Dinner in New Zealand will delight you in 2018. Enjoy a specially-designed 5-course menu and a glass of bubbles on arrival. Choose your colour, choose your table, book your ticket and go to a French heaven.
Saturday and Sunday, The Cloud and Shed 10 will come alive with French food, wine, fashion, language, pétanque, concert, games, kids corner and so much more.
On Saturday night rugby fans can also enjoy the French Fan Zone: two giant screens will broadcast the All Blacks vs. XV de France game live.
The game will be followed by a French artist concert to continue the party.
