Gyda'r nos cynhaliodd Llysgennad Prydain a minnau dderbyniad ym Mhreswylfa'r Llysgennad i ddathlu'r berthynas rhwng Cymru a Ffrainc ac i lansio’r ymgyrch Blwyddyn Cymru yn Ffrainc yn swyddogol. Gwahoddwyd i’r noson randdeiliaid allweddol y berthynas rhwng Ffrainc a Chymru ar gyfer arddangosfa o ddiwylliant cyfoes Cymreig, gan gynnwys perfformiadau gan y delynores Gymreig glasurol Catrin Finch, a pherfformiad gan Gwmni Dawns Cenedlaethol Cymru gan gynnwys Dean Yhell, bît-bocsiwr o Dredegar. Roeddem hefyd yn falch o arddangos bwyd a diod o Gymru i'r gwesteion oedd wedi ymgynnull, gan bwysleisio pwysigrwydd Ffrainc fel marchnad allforio fawr ar gyfer cynnyrch o Gymru.
In the evening the British Ambassador and I held a reception at the Ambassador’s Residence to celebrate the Wales-France relationship and to officially launch the  Year of Wales in France campaign. The evening invited key stakeholders in the Welsh French relationship for a showcase of contemporary Welsh culture, including performances by classical Welsh harpist Catrin Finch and a performance by National Dance Company Wales featuring Dean Yhell, a beatboxer from Tredegar. We were also pleased to showcase Welsh food and drink to the assembled guests, underlining the importance of France as a major export market for Welsh produce.
