On 30 November 2010, the Centre for Political and Foreign Affairs (CPFA) held a soirée d’ouverture for the launch of the magazine Le Monde de l’Art at the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris. The magazine, sponsored by CPFA and directed by Guillaume de Sardes, sought to create a platform at the intersection of culture, politics, and global affairs. The evening brought together prominent figures from these fields, including actor Jeremy Irons, former French Minister of Culture Jack Lang, art historian and writer Guillaume de Sardes, and the renowned French painter Ernest Pignon-Ernest.

The event unfolded in the elegant setting of the historic museum, creating an atmosphere where conversation ranged from contemporary art and literature to the interplay between politics and culture. While the CPFA has primarily focused on international conflict, global affairs, and politics, the soirée highlighted its intellectual and artistic dimension, demonstrating the centre’s broader vision in connecting culture with international dialogue.

With its combination of high artistic value and political resonance, the soirée established itself as a distinctive moment in CPFA’s programme of events. The gathering not only celebrated the launch of Le Monde de l’Art but also reaffirmed the role of culture in shaping public discourse and fostering dialogue across disciplines.
