Join our experts for an evening of talks discussing the past, present and future of the relationship between Great Britain and France.
The nations of Great Britain and France have had a long and complicated relationship throughout their shared history. From the Battle of Hastings to the Hundred Years War, to the Entente Cordiale, these two nations have gone from enemies to allies.
