What makes a glass of wine and an assortment of cheese even better is when it comes along with a side of culture. Raffles Udaipur presents to you an evening of sensory perfection with mouthwatering wines and cheeses, in a mystical island setting while listening to a renowned French writer-director talking about love.
As part of Bonjour India 2022, the author Philippe Claudel is doing a tour in India: He will meet his readers starting from Delhi, Udaipur and finally in Jaipur. On 8th April at 6 pm, The Writers Bar at Raffles Udaipur and the French Institute in India are collaborating to provide you an exclusive literary experience. While you revel in some drops of Burgundy wine, the French author Philippe Claudel and the Indian journalist Kaveree Bamzai, will reveal everything to you about Love and Art.
The Bonjour India festival marks 75 incredible years of Indo-French relations, and is programmed to display Indo-French collaborations across different domains of education, science, literature, cinema, gastronomy, street art, performing arts and photography. Raffles Udaipur is a private oasis for the curious, who are well-travelled yet on a constant quest for peace, calm and discovery, and creates the perfect setting for an interactive session on ‘Love & Art’ as part of the 4th edition of Bonjour India.
In conversation at the ‘Love & Art’ session, Raffles Udaipur will be hosting Philippe Claudel, who is a renowned French author and film director with a decorated career of writing short stories, novels and screenplays. His film I’ve Loved You So Long won the 2009 BAFTA for Best Non-English-Language Film. Moderating the session is Kaveree Bamzai, who is currently an independent journalist with over thirty years at renowned publications such as India Today, The Indian Express and The Times of India. She launched her career as a sub-editor-cum-film-reviewer at The Indian Express, Ahmedabad, in 1988, having inherited her love for movies from her late father. She was the first, and so far, only woman editor of India Today. Together the two maestros will conduct an evening of infinite knowledge and flowing conversations revolving around love and art at the incredible Raffles Udaipur’s The Writers Bar.
A sanctuary for the literary savants and the well-travelled alike, The Writers Bar showcases a series of collector’s edition travel books for the guests to immerse themselves in.
