Table de conversation en francais @ Long Hall Pub
On se rencontre chaque mercredi pour parler français. Parmi nous, il y a des gens qui ont le français comme langue maternelle, et des gens qui aiment le français et le maîtrisent plus ou moins. On aime discuter et parler de tout et de rien, et on est toujours content de recevoir des gens qui sont de passage ou des nouvelles personnes qui veulent écouter, parler, pratiquer ou poser des questions.
Cette semaine, on se retrouve au Pub "The Long Hall, situé a proximité de la station U2 Rathaus, sur Le coin Landesgerichtstr. / Florianigasse.
La table est toujours gérée d'une façon très libre et relaxée, on se rencontre et on parle aux autres participants et participantes autour de nous.
NOTE: Si vous comptez venir, inscrivez-vous s'il vous plaît, pour qu'on puisse prévoir assez (mais pas trop non plus) d'espace au restaurant.
Comme ça, on sera à l'aise et l'endroit qui nous accueille aussi.
On commence à 18h30 , mais ce n'est pas un problème de rejoindre après.
Normalement, il y a au moins une dizaine de personnes qui vient aux rencontres.
Cette rencontre est aussi annoncée sur notre groupe facebook ("Vienna French Meetings")
A mercredi alors!

Photo Walk - Easter Markets Am Hof
Join me for a photo walk at Am Hof Easter market :)
We will gather at the south entrance of Am Hof, then take a short walk between the stands. As the market is small, we will then head past Cafe Central and Michaelerplatz to Albertina. At the end of the walk everyone is welcome to join for a warm drink at a nearby cafe.
The event is free of charge but will be limited to max 10 people as it is meant as an opportunity to connect. It is suitable for all regardless of age/level/gear.
IMPORTANT: as these events are usually full, please make sure to cancel at least 24h in advance if you see you aren´t able to make it.

Run+B-fast
Hi Running fellows,
Whether you’re a walker, new to running, a semi-pro, a marathonist or a sprint star - if you want to start your weekend in an active way and enjoy the outdoors in lovely surroundings with a fun, international and multilingual group of people, you are welcome to join us!
Every Saturday at 9:30 am, we meet, we run, in the magnificent Schönbrunn park, and then we go for breakfast.
Want to discuss politics or the best recipes for banana pancakes? Not a problem. Not feeling social? Tune out with your earbuds - we can talk over breakfast. We are casual. You can be too.
What to expect: Start by meeting Adrian, Ali, Liz, Paul and Sonia on-time at 9:30am outside the Schönbrunn U-Bahn stop (exit Grünbergstraße). (Coordinates: 48.1858130, 16.3200640) From there, we walk to the side park entrance where the “running” part begins. The important thing is that you run at your own pace. Typically, small groups of people will run at the same pace as you, so you never have to walk/run alone :)
We finish one hour later, at about 10:40am, reconvening just inside the Hietzinger Tor exit. (Coordinates: 48.1858825, 16.3032647). From there, we’re off to breakfast!
Breakfast Details: Anker bakery opposite the U4 Hietzing station and depending on the weather, grab something for a picnic in Schönbrunn park, or hang out in the bakery. If you missed us earlier, you can always go there around 10:45.
We are a fun group of runners who don’t take things too seriously. We meet, chat, RUN, stretch, chat, EAT and we hang out over a beer every now and then. It's that easy. Please join us for breakfast after the run! The more the merrier.
Typically we are 10-30 people, as not everyone who comes signs up on meetup.
Important disclaimer: Please only run as much as you feel you can, considering the temperature, weather conditions, your own fitness etc... run and walk at your own pace as the organizers do not assume any liability for any injuries or health issues. Sonia, Adrian, Ali, Paul and Liz
Social Hike XL: Iron Wells + Koliba
*Amidst whispering pines,*
*Ponds cradle nature’s secrets -*
*Stillness mirrors sky*
Bodies of water have always held a certain fascination amongst outdoor enthusiasts, and this is no exception. After a quick break, we then take a short commute to our actual trailhead.
Expect iron-rich lakes, lush forests and a panoramic chairlift ride to the Kamzik mountain top. After taking in magnificent vistas from what is BA's highest accessible point, we'll follow a meandering vineyard trail back into town. Net hiking time will be \~3 hours.
To secure your spots, please ...
Step 1: RSVP here on Meetup first (optional but recommended)
Step 2: Complete your booking at https://vienna.ixpat.com/ironwells
