Latin America and Caribbean Weeks

Discovering the wealth of creativity in the region

The 2025 edition draws on initiatives from embassies of Latin American and Caribbean countries in France, as well as associations, teaching and research institutions, international organisations and economic stakeholders.

From Bordeaux to Toulouse, from Paris to Cartagena de Indias, these Weeks offer the public a wide variety of Latin American and Caribbean creativity in France and show the French people’s interest in the region.

Political and economic events

This year’s event will also feature political and economic meetings to discuss the relationship between Latin America, the Caribbean and France, to promote partnerships and to strengthen synergies in order to tackle current challenges.

A lasting initiative

In 2011, at the initiative of the French Senate, the “Latin America and Caribbean Day” was introduced, to celebrate and strengthen ties between countries of the region and France.

In 2014, the “Day” became a “Week”, or rather “Weeks”, organized and coordinated by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs.

With each passing year, the Week has alternated between an educational, popular culture, and festive event, but it has always been unmissable, both in Paris and throughout France. It has become an occasion for meetings and shared reflection between Latin America, the Caribbean and France.

An opportunity to (re)discover Latin America and the Caribbean
