What we’re about
If you love the French language, this group is for you!
Once a month, French speakers and French language lovers gather at the French Institute of Michigan, in Farmington hills to talk about a French movie, sip some wine and share their thoughts about the movie.
Right now please note the meetings are online on zoom! Watch the movie at your convenience before the meeting and then join everyone to discuss it !
This meetup is for all levels of French and the movies all have English subtitles. This is a nice way to start the weekend and to practice your French in a very friendly environment.
