The fresh air of November takes the French Culture Nights to the breathtaking Sky Room, an elegant lounge with rooftop, in the heart of Times Square with a unique evening of Music and Arts, on November 17.

The Sky Room, which boasts 360 degree views of Manhattan and the Hudson River from the city's highest rooftop lounge, aims to take New York City nightlife to the next level.

The talented painter Chopin will be presenting her work that evening. Reflecting her deeply international background, this Francophone artist studied at the Beaux Arts in Paris as well as other worldwide prestigious arts universities.

DJ Manu with 10 years of experience evolving through various musical styles such as jazz, African beats, reggae, funk and rock, Manu has collaborated with numerous artists which helped him acquire great scenic maturity.
