The Alliance Française de Doylestown is a not-for-profit organization which has been serving the Bucks County community for 32 years.
Its mission is to promote and enhance knowledge and appreciation of French language and culture and to encourage interaction among French people, speakers of French, and all those with an interest in the French way of life.
The Alliance meets twice monthly for a 90-minute “table ronde” French conversation session.
Conversation topics are announced in advance so that members may prepare their comments.
The conversation topics are enhanced with a brief and relevant grammar revision.
The Alliance welcomes all levels of French speakers in a friendly, fun and supportive environment.
Interested parties may attend one of these sessions free of charge to see how well the “table ronde” meets their needs and interests by writing to afdoylestown@gmail.com.
In addition to the regular meetings, the Alliance offers a variety of special presentations of interest to francophiles, screenings of French films and social gatherings for its members and occasionally, for the community at large.
The Alliance Française Doylestown & Bucks County is a chapter of the Fédération des Alliances Françaises, the largest network of French language and cultural centers in the world.
Additional details about the Alliance and its calendar of events are available on the organization’s website, www.afdoylestown.org, or by e-mailing afdoylestown@gmail.com.
