Moi je joue — par Brigitte Bardot

Moi je joue Moi je joue à joue contre joue Je veux jouer à joue contre vous Mais vous, le voulez-vous? De tout cœur Je veux gagner ce cœur à cœur Vous connaissez mon jeu par cœur Alors défendez-vous Sans tricher Je vous le promets J'ai gagné Tant pis c'est bien fait Vous êtes mon jouet À présent Ce ne sera plus vous mais toi Et tu feras, ça t'apprendras N'importe quoi pour moi Sans m'en faire Je vais t'assurer Un enfer De griffes et de crocs Tu crieras bientôt Au secours Alors décidant de ton sort Pour m'éviter quelques remords Je t'aimerais plus fort Oh oui, plus fort Oui, oui, oui, oui, plus fort Ah, plus fort Oui, oui ah Oh, plus fort, oui Aïe, aïe, aïe

Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day

A national holiday in the Canadian province of Quebec and celebrated by French Canadians worldwide, especially in Canada and the United States, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, June 24,  honors the traditional feast day of the Nativity — or birth — of St. John the Baptist. The religious nature of the holiday has been de-emphasized for civic events, and “la St-Jean” is now mainly a celebration of francophone culture and history filled with public events, parades, barbecues, picnics and fireworks. Bonne Saint-Jean-Baptiste!

When is Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day 2022?

Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, or St John the Baptist Day, is celebrated on June 24 in the Canadian province of Quebec and by French Canadians across Canada and the United States.

History of Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day

Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day is a national holiday celebrated on June 24 in Quebec, where it’s also known as ‘Fête nationale du Québec’ (‘national holiday of Quebec’ in English). Many Canadian Francophone communities outside of Quebec also celebrate Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day.

The holiday festivities start on June 23 and people gather to celebrate Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day and Francophone culture with outdoor activities, parades, concerts, and fireworks. Smaller celebrations are also held in neighborhoods, like bonfires, barbecues, and picnics. The white fleur-de-lis on the flag of Quebec is the symbol of this holiday. Blue and white are the colors of the day, and the flag is waved and hoisted at Fête nationale du Québec events.

The history of Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day is more than 100 years old. The day originally marked the honorary remembrance of the Christian saint, John the Baptist, but all this changed in 1834 when Canadian-French journalist Ludger Duvernay witnessed a St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Montreal. Seeing the grand celebration for an honorary figure inspired him to form a similar holiday for French Canadians to honor their heritage. Duvernay established the charitable association, the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society, in the same year, and the holiday was observed for the first time on June 24. The association was chartered in 1849 with the aim of promoting moral and social progress.

Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day was celebrated on and off for years until it finally became an official holiday in Quebec in 1925. The day has been observed every year since and has become a mark of Francophone culture.

Grab a seat near the water for fireworks

Learn French

One of the great things about la St-Jean is that the party spreads outward from the main city events into all the neighborhoods and communities. Organize a potluck picnic with your friends from the block.

There's no better way to watch fireworks than right next to the water, where you'll get a front-row seat for the spectacular, booming, sparkling displays — both in the air and in the magical reflection on the waves.

French is one of the world's most beautiful languages. And it's the official tongue in a multitude of countries — not just France and Canada. Learn the language so you'll be prepared when you run into a fellow francophone.

Quoi de neuf sur Netflix en juin 2022

Les critiques culturels ont passé beaucoup de temps à devenir poétiques sur la façon dont l’ère du streaming – et Netflix en particulier – dévalorise les œuvres créatives en les transformant en un simple “contenu” plongé sans réfléchir dans un gros sac de détritus en streaming et en attendant les téléspectateurs (et un algorithme sournois) faire le reste. Et même si je suis certainement d’accord,…
