Bouillon de Lectures: Rendez-vous surprise avec un livre

At The French Library Get Directions

In March, we invite you to discover a blindly chosen book for our monthly book club, Bouillon de lectures. Come ready to discuss your choice and to whether your experience of the book matched the description or cover.

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.

À Propos de Cet Événement

Pour ce Bouillon, nous vous invitons à découvrir un livre complètement inconnu... et emballé! Vous pouvez choisir un roman, une bande dessinée, ou une documentaire de notre exposition dans la bibliothèque. Pour plus d'informations sur le thème de ce mois, veuillez consulter notre blog.

Le Bouillon, c’est quoi ? Une opportunité de découvrir de nouvelles œuvres et de partager vos impressions avec d’autres francophones amateurs de belles lettres. Un thème vous est proposé chaque mois, vous choisissez parmi une sélection le livre de votre choix, et venez le présenter aux autres.
