Colchester Anglo-French Circle

A friendly, mixed group of people interested in the language, art and culture of France. All welcome. Everyone is welcome.

We discuss the many facets of France - its history, the diversity of its landscape, its haunting songs and music, the uniqueness of its cuisine, its famous wines and our travel experiences. As well as some entertaining talks by visiting speakers (some in French, some in English), members can also share their own experiences. In addition, we have musical evenings, quiz/games evenings and social eve

nts, all of these with a French theme. We start our meetings informally with tea and coffee, the environment is friendly and relaxed and there is an opportunity to converse in French if you wish. It is not necessary to be fluent in the French language.
