Many Michiganians know about Detroit’s French connection, which will be spotlighted during a cruise on Sunday.
The Alliance Française de Détroit French History Cruise is a two-hour tour that will teach passengers about the city’s French heritage.
“The French History Cruise is an opportunity for guests to gain awareness of the French history of D’étroit “The Strait” and a reminder of our connection not only to France and Canada across the border, but to many francophone countries around the world,” said Stephanie Potier, a French teacher at Bloomfield Hills Schools. “It’s an invitation to celebrate French language and heritage.”
