lieux d'hospitalité

French term or phrase: lieux d'hospitalité
I'm translating a short document describing France's participation in an international event, with the following title:

"Représenter un dialogue entre des lieux d’hospitalité́"

The dialogue is between French and other languages, and by hospitalité I assume they mean the different spaces that will be welcoming foreign visitors. The document talks a lot about visual expression, the logo, and the term dialogue (particularly between languages) comes up again and again. Here are a couple more sentences to give you the idea:

"La représentation de l’invitation de la France à XXX se construit sur un dialogue entre les langues..."

"Elle illustrera quels que soient les supports et les sujets traités, l’hospitalité́ de la langue française et sa capacité́ de dialoguer avec d’autres." I find the notion of the hospitality of the French language a bit odd...

Any ideas about how to render "lieux d'hospitalité" in an appropriate way for the title?

UK English ok.

Thanks!

I just noticed that it's plural, so Hospitality Suites

neutral  Tony M: I don't think this applies in this case, terry; seems to me here they are talking in a far more figurative, philosophical sense
