Bouillon de Lectures: Prix Albertine

At The French Library Get Directions

In May, we invite you to discover an author shortlisted for the Albertine Prize for our monthly book club, Bouillon de lectures. Come ready to discuss your choice and vote for a favorite.
This book club is free and open to the public. Participants read a book of their choice related to each month's theme. The discussion, recommended for intermediate (B1/B2) to advanced speakers, will be moderated in French.
This informal book club strives to foster discussion and dialogue around a love of literature: attendees are wholeheartedly encouraged to come and practice speaking in French. Interested in a more structured literature class? Try our monthly workshops, like Un Mois, Un Livre.
