Celebrate the 25th birthday of the French Institute on Instagram

For this contest, you can share your pictures around three topics:

• « READING » : Share your favourite reading moments. The picture must include a French author’s book, either in its original version or in Estonian.

• « FRENCH IDIOM » : Use a picture or a drawing to illustrate a French idiom: « tomber dans les pommes » (lit. to fall into the apples, meaning to faint), « monter sur ses grands chevaux » (lit. to climb on one’s high horses, meaning to get off one’s high horse), « avoir un coup de foudre » (lit. to be struck by lightning, meaning love at first sight), « ne pas avoir froid aux yeux » (lit. not to have cold eyes, meaning to be bold), « se mettre sur son 31 » (lit. to put on one’s 31, meaning to get really well dressed up), « l’habit ne fait pas le moine » (lit. the clothes don’t make the monk, meaning don’t judge a book by its cover), « être aux anges » (lit. to be with the angels, meaning to be extremely happy), « être haut comme trois pommes » (lit. to be as tall as three apples, meaning to be knee-high to a grasshopper), « avoir une faim de loup » (lit. to be as hungry as a wolf, meaning to be really hungry) etc. 

• « AN IDEA OF FRANCE » : Capture a moment, a scene, a place, an object… that you feel represents France in a way.
