About us

## The French Book Club 📚🇫🇷

Love reading and want to discover French literature while improving your French?

Welcome to The French Book Club, an online community of passionate readers and French learners from around the world.

Over the years, we’ve already read and discussed dozens of books together, and our international community of book lovers keeps growing. From contemporary novels and literary bestsellers to classics and non-fiction, we love discovering French and Francophone literature — and, above all, talking about it together.

We’ve read authors such as Albert Camus, Annie Ernaux, Romain Gary, Leïla Slimani, George Sand, Émile Zola, Colette, Gaël Faye and many more.

Our book clubs take place online in very small groups (2–6 readers) and are guided by a qualified and experienced French teacher.

We read each book progressively over several weeks and meet once a week for a 1-hour discussion in French. We talk about the characters, themes and writing, but also the historical and cultural context — and, of course, share our own reactions, interpretations and opinions.

📚 What to expect:

• Weekly 1-hour online discussions in French
• Small, friendly groups of passionate readers
• A manageable reading schedule over several weeks
• Guided discussions where everyone has time to speak
• Vocabulary, explanations and language support when needed
• Different books and levels throughout the year
• French and Francophone literature, from classics to contemporary works
• An international community brought together by a love of books and French

You don't need to understand every single word to enjoy a book in French. Reading together gives you the motivation to keep going — and discussing the book brings the language, the story and its ideas to life.

Whether you’re already an avid reader in French or ready to take on your first novel, join our growing community and discover your next French read with us.
