A little elf told us Père Noël would be coming to our Fête d’hiver! He might even have presents in his sack for les enfants sages!
For families who wish, we invite you to bring a small gift (already wrapped) for your child or children with their name written on it. Papa Noël will be happy to take it out from his sack of presents when the time comes! Papa Noël will be coming to the Grande Salle around 2:30pm.
3 PM - CINÉ KIDS ‘‘Marcel le père Noël et le petit livreur de pizzas’’ - In french with english subtitles
‘‘Un soir de 24 décembre, quelque part dans une banlieue grise, le jeune Abdou, petit livreur de pizzas rêveur, rencontre le véritable Père Noël, Marcel de son prénom. Le vieil homme est usé et fatigué et un bête accident de scooter compromet sa tournée. Grâce à Abdou, qui met à contribution quelques personnages peu banals de son quartier, la distribution aura bien lieu. Dans un grand foutoir, Noël est sauvé, en musique et en chansons !’’
