Community, in person & on screen
Gather with us
Community comes alive in person and on screen. Every week, our virtual café. Every month, a cultural conférence. Every season, a celebration. And every year, an immersion — in Sarasota, in France, or in French Louisiana.

For our young learners
For young learners, the year is crowned by the Soirée Scénique Hommage — and an optional journey through Brittany (Brocéliande, Mont-Saint-Michel, Dinan, Saint-Malo).
Travel — live the language
Learning French also means living it. We organize cultural stays in France where our students put everything into practice — the language, the dance, the art of conversation — in the very heart of French culture. A journey that turns months of learning into memories for a lifetime.
The Château ball
In partnership with a French academy, our graduates close their journey with a true ball in a château listed as a historic monument, near Paris — tricolor gowns, the waltz, and celebration. The crowning of a full year of learning, character, and cultural transmission, lived in the heart of France.
Never miss a gathering.
The Community calendar and our contact team can point you to the next café, conférence, or celebration.
