### 🥖 Bienvenue Chez François Classes! 🇫🇷

Welcome to Chez François – your new go-to spot for French Lifestyle in Orange County!
This is my third Meetup group, created after recently moving here from the East Coast, where I started two popular groups that are still going strong:
🔗 Chez François French Classes (East Coast)
🔗 Chez François Cooking & Language Group
Now that I’m in California, I’m excited to bring authentic French cooking and language learning experiences to the West Coast!
