Les Compagnons started as the French Version of Toastmasters Club in 1970. It used to meet up, at St. John's Church, in front of the White House, on Thursday evenings. We carried on this tradition, to date and it makes us the oldest and the only weekly French Meetup in Washington DC.

We love French and French Culture. We are friendly and fun loving Francophiles. We have a faux Constitutional Monarchy and every leadership team has got a nick name:) Make sure to meet La Dictatrice, Le Dictateur, Le Co-Dictateur, Ministre de Publicite, La Première Dame, Monsieur le Dictionnaire, Ministre de l'Agriculture and Le Sous-dictateur/le Sommelier. If you want to get a nick name; stick with us, show-up on every event and give a hand.

Our purpose is to help people with an interest in French language and culture connect with one another, both online and in person. Membership is FREE and we're open to all levels of French language from zero to native fluency.


Unless and otherwise it is indicated in the Event, our prime location is : 1920 G St. NW, Washington DC.


1) Arriving by Metro: The closest metro stations are Farragut North and Farragut West. Foggy Bottom is also an option. The school entrance is at the end of the parking lot beside the United Church at the corner of 20th & G Street, NW.

2)Arriving by car: Please note that the parking lot is only for the church members. However, there is public parking close to the church. The least expensive option for parking is the Marvin Center Garage (http://www.gwu.edu/~p...) . It's located between 22nd & 21st Streets and cost only $8.00 after 6:00pm.


In order to help you practice French, we created different events :

1. Weekly Meetup :
