The Atlanta Joie de Vivre group is for those who love anything French! We do conversation groups, wine tastings, fashion shows, film nights, lectures, art and photo exhibits, concerts... un peu de tout (a little bit of everything). We also have ¨French in the City¨ series where we meet up in different places throughout Metro-Atlanta for real-life conversation practice, all while enjoying what the city has to offer :-)

Check us out on TikTok.

This Meetup enjoys events hosted by French language organizations such as the Alliance Française d'Atlanta, Théâtre du Rêve, Atlanta Toulouse Sister Cities Committee, French Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Consulate General of Switzerland, Consulte General of Belgium, and France-Atlanta, as well as places such as the High Museum of Art, SCAD Fash, Atlanta Accueill, Goethe Zentrum, local universities, and Atlanta restaurants and businesses that from time to time feature French/Francophone theme activities.

The Atlanta Joie de Vivre group welcomes everyone with a love for the French/Francophone language and culture. So whether you speak French fluently, just a little, or not at all, come join us! It's all about having fun and meeting great people!

SAMPLE itinerary
please note that itineraries are subject to change

Day 1: Welcome to Paris! At the airport arrivals hall, you’ll be greeted by your personal driver holding a sign with your name on it. We’ll meet up for a welcome reception and a chance for you to unwind after your long journey. Afterwards we’ll stroll around the neighborhood for an introduction to Rive Gauche (Paris’ Left Bank), Île de la Cité where Paris was born, and the medieval streets of the Latin Quarter. Dinner in a lovely neighborhood restaurant.

Note: We recommend booking your departure flight the day before (if living outside of the E.U.) so that your flight arrives early enough to participate in Day 1’s activities.

Day 2: A moveable feast...includes a visit to one of Paris’ most charming pedestrian streets, a guided walking food tour and wine tasting. The day concludes with Champagne & macarons, a cruise on the River Seine and a view of the Eiffel Tower at night.

Day 3: Today we make our way to la Rive Droite (Paris’ Right Bank) for 18th & 19th century Parisian high elegance, including a visit to one of Paris’ lesser known museums, a stop at an open-air market, and a leisurely afternoon stroll through one of the most exclusive avenues of the capital. We continue with a walk to the Champs de Mars for an up-close view of the iconic Eiffel Tower. For the evening, we meet up for cocktails & jazz.

Day 4: This day is your time to enjoy Paris on your own, whether it is a visit to a famous museum, pampering yourself at a hammam or the luxurious Dior Spa, taking a cooking class, or people watching at a local café. The choices are endless. Meet Me in Paris can also help you plan a day trip to Versailles or Giverny for those who wish to visit these destinations. Or... come with me on a train ride for Champagne tasting in the world famous Champagne region! (minimum 2 participants).

Day 5: We’ll meet up in the afternoon and make our way to one of my favorite squares in the city and practice the art of “flaner”, a Parisian pastime which means to stroll or wander for pleasure. Later is a short Métro ride to the Afro-Caribbean quarter and to the village of Montmartre where artists like Picasso, Van Gogh, Renoir, and Toulouse Lautrec used to live and work. In the evening we enjoy an au revoir (farewell) dinner together, sharing travel stories and toasting new friends. À votre santé !
