Join us for book discussions! They are free and a great way to practice your French! If you would like to see what a meeting is like, you are welcome to attend without having read the book being discussed.
Books are available online for purchase and are bought by participants.
We meet on the third Thursday of every month at 7:00pm in person at Emerson School in Palo Alto. Club de lecture led by Jane Murdoch. For more information, send us an email here.
