Club de Lecture

Enjoy French literature

French literature enthusiasts are invited to join this intensive book club to feed their love of French language and expression. From award-winning novels and classics to best sellers and new releases, the group reads five books each year and holds regular afternoon meetings at a member's house for a dynamic discussion on the current selection. All books are written in French and discussion takes place in French. At the end of each year, participants are invited to take home a book of their choice, or donate their favorite selection to the Alliance library.

French language level: advanced/fluent
Cost: $25-30 per member to cover the cost of books
Contact: Claire Schwartz at 914-273-9588
