Since 1981, the France New Zealand Association has encouraged interaction between people interested in cultural exchange between France & New Zealand. 

The most valuable aspect of the association is the opportunity it provides for personal contact between people.

As the Māori proverb says: 

He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.

What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.
