Alliance Française Calgary - Soirée Région Bretagne

Take a Virtual Walk Through Poltava

>  Soirée Découverte

On Friday, May 29th, we invite you to come together to discover the beautiful city of Poltava, located in the heart of Ukraine. The city is renowned for its historical significance in the Great Northern War, its role in the Cossack regiments, as well as its remarkable architectural landmarks.

Valeriya, our receptionist, is excited to take you on a virtual tour of her hometown, highlighting its must-visit spots while sharing the city’s identity, history, culture, gastronomy, and the important cultural figures who represent Ukrainian literature and independence. You’ll also discover Poltava as it exists today through sneakp peak into its traditional food, traditional costumes and the many symbols that make the city so unique.

You’ll learn a little bit of everything, from its popular monuments, museums, and churches to its most beloved destinations.

To complete the experience, traditional Ukrainian dishes will be shared at the end of the presentation, allowing your taste buds to discover Ukraine just as your mind has.

Be prepared to be amazed by Poltava, although virtually, Valeriya hopes to inspire you to visit one day the city she is lucky to call home and experience its rich culture in person.
