Mumbai: Fifteen Indian
cities will host the three-month second Bonjour India, an
Indo-French cultural festival starting this month, officials said
here Friday.

association with Alliance Francaise India network and the Indian
Council for Cultural Relations, the festival will encompass
cultural exchanges between India and France, including arts,
literature, cinema, fashion, performing arts, sports, education

The focus would be on creative collaboration between Indian and

films will travel across seven Indian cities within a month, while

international film festivals will be screened in nine cities.
