Cercle de lecture
Our Cercle Littéraire invites you to join them for one of their 2026 reads. They meet on Saturdays from 10am-noon and read a wide variety of books in French and discuss them in French. They meet in members’ homes monthly on a rotating basis usually on the 3rd Saturday of the month. If you would like to join them for a discussion or to try it out or need help in getting one of our books, please contact Suzie Martin at culturethequeafgp@gmail.com
Currently, the Cercle has 12-14 members who have been reading and discussing since May 2005 and having a ball!
