Conférence de l'Alliance Française

Our next lecture, which will close the 2025-2026 season, will take place on Wednesday June 10 at 8.30pm in the Provost's Hall and will be given, as usual, by Jean-Philippe GRILLE.

The theme will be: Switzerland, a neutral country...Really?!

Free admission - Plateau



Switzerland is a country that everyone thinks they know: its territory is close by, and even borders it for many French people, and people even go there on vacation... And yet all the quizzes devised on this subject betray a great lack of precise knowledge.

This is true right down to the 1st definition of the Swiss state: neutrality. This often leads us to ask the question: what is the status of this famous Swiss neutrality behind which almost 10 million of our neighbors take shelter?

After a career as a high school and university teacher, Jean-Philippe GRILLE continues to reflect on the geopolitical issues that have occupied his professional life. He is also deeply involved in music and culture, notably as an organist, president of the Association des Amis de l'Orgue Silbermann de Wasselonne, founding member of the association "Itinéraires des orgues Silbermann" and vice-president of the Alliance Française de Wasselonne.
