As part of the Alsace Fan Day (Alsace Festival) in Norway, Fransk Kulturhus, Alsaceforeningen i Norge and Mitt Lille Frankrike are delighted to present two unique events at Fransk Kulturhus on Friday, June 5th, 2026:

From 4:00 PM to 5:15 PM: exclusive screening of the documentary Road to Nordkapp.
The film follows the remarkable human and sporting journey of several para-cyclists from the Alsace region as they attempt to cycle all the way to the North Cape. Through this extraordinary challenge, the documentary explores endurance, teamwork, determination and the encounter with Nordic landscapes. Blending travel, sport and emotion, Road to Nordkapp also highlights a unique connection between Alsace and Scandinavia. Documentary in French.

From 5:15 PM to 6:30 PM: talk and discussion on Alsace’s place within the Grand Est region.
The Grand Est region was created in 2016 through a territorial reform merging Alsace, Lorraine and Champagne-Ardenne. This decision sparked strong reactions, particularly in Alsace, where regional identity remains very strong. Taking a historical perspective, the talk explores Alsace as a Rhine-border region shaped by the interaction between French and German worlds, with distinct traditions and a strong European dimension. It will then address a central question: Is the desire to leave the Grand Est simply regionalism — or a logical and well-founded development? (by Gilles Vogt, historian).
Talk in French, with explanations in Norwegian and audience discussion in both French and Norwegian.
