Le Monde wishes to reach out and dialogue with its readers abroad. To this end, in collaboration with Le Devoir, it has organized an event in Montreal similar to the one it holds each year in Paris, called “Le Monde Festival.” This edition will be held on Friday, October 26, 2018, at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. The idea behind the festival is to invite an exchange of French and Quebec perspectives on major themes shaping the current public debate on either side of the Atlantic.
