FIAF’s Trophée des Arts Gala

The French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) will honor acclaimed French novelist Marc Levy with the 2021 Trophée des Arts and Pierre-André de Chalendar, Chairman of Saint-Gobain, with the 2021 Pilier d’Or at The Plaza Hotel on Monday, November 15, 2021.

The annual FIAF Trophée des Arts Gala returns in person this year, and recognizes the honorees’s contributions to French and American cross-cultural exchange in the arts and business, respectively. This year, a special award will be presented to Marie-Monique Steckel, President of FIAF for more than 17 years.

The black-tie event and auction raises funds to support FIAF’s mission to teach French, promote Francophone culture, and strengthen the relationship between French and American peoples. This year’s gala is co-chaired by ARDIAN, Samantha and Nabil Chartouni, Clo and Charles S. Cohen, Betty and Jean-Marie Eveillard, LVMH, and Clémence and William von Mueffling.
