Sister Cities of Franklin and Williamson County begin their 2nd year of the highly successful series Passport to the World Series by traveling to France, at the Williamson County Library.

The discussion will be held Sunday, February 5, at 2 p.m. and feature Amelie de Gaulle, from the France Agency Consulate in Nashville.   The discussion will begin with a short history of Paris, a lesson on French wines and a taste of French cheeses with an expert from the Whole Foods cheese counter.

Passport to the World provides an authentic and personal look into the splendor of our continents around the globe. This series will walk you through the doorways of the world into our seven continents to experience the art, music, food, lifestyle, landscape, and heritage of our international neighbors without leaving the Williamson County Library.

Activities for children and adults are often offered during the presentation. Passport to the World is presented by Sister Cities of Franklin and Williamson County and co-sponsored by the Williamson County Public Library and the Townsend Institute for Global Competency at O'More College of Design. This is a free series.  If you are interested in learning more about the Passport Program please contact Sharon Bottorff at 615-790-5815 ext. 3.
