This event is sold out! We may not be able to accommodate walk-ins due to capacity limits.

Join us for some French conversation at the Canopy Room at Bow Market in Somerville! We're inviting all levels of French speakers to meet us in Somerville's hottest food, art, and retail space. We'll chat, mingle, drink wine, and savor delicious chocolates from Bow Market's own chocolatier, gaté comme des filles. This is a perfect opportunity for those who want to practice French in a casual, relaxed setting. You do not have to be a member to attend this special event!
