Magical Cafe, The French Letter, Expat Expo

Founder of the Magical Cafe, Jannick came in to tell us about this new venture - a family-friendly play cafe where children can play, draw and read, while parents can relax, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea with a cupcake or meet up. The Magical Cafe also offers workshops and special events and you can celebrate birthdays with themed parties and sweet tables.

The French Letter is a Basel region-focused, community-oriented newsletter.  Nathalie Swift, Stefani Baker, and Carolyn Douglas, the editors, joined us tonight. 

Not just an information source, The French Letter provides access to the English-speaking community living and seeking to access the nearby French communities of Basel. Examples of their content: English-speaking service vendors in Southern Alsace, How-To's, and coming up soon: regional Gin distilleries.
