Alors... May Conversation Group

At The French Library Get Directions

Waitlist Only - We're allowing food and beverage in the library (gasp!) and encouraging all to speak en français. This is a perfect opportunity for those who want to practice French in a casual, relaxed setting.

The conversation at Alors... is always open, but guided by our monthly theme. For May our theme is France: Past and Present.
