About
I have been teaching French and organizing weekly conversations since 2010 in New York, Los Angeles and London. I am a native French-speaker fascinated by the culture and history of France and the francophone world. Eager to share opinion, ideas and knowledge with the francophile world online.

✞ "À" or "en" Avignon? - The recent passing of Pope Francis has sparked emotion around the world. In this moment of global reflection, it's impossible not to think of the places that have played a key role in the history of the Church, including the city of Avignon.
Avignon is perhaps best known for its iconic bridge, where generations have danced in joyful circles. But the city's history goes far beyond this beloved children's song. Thanks to its privileged location along the Rhône River, Avignon flourished as a commercial hub and, in the 14th century, became the seat of a divided papacy.
Today, Avignon stands at another crossroads: a cultural one. Ideally located on the TGV high-speed train line connecting Paris, Lyon, and Marseille, it now hosts the world's largest theater festival, attracting artists and audiences from around the globe.#### Preparation:
- watch this week's episode about Avignon: https://youtu.be/TIsVAGa8ngI (Subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar).
- prepare one or two questions
[ If sold out on Meetup, you may find more spots available for the same session on https://www.frenchconversationgroup.com ]
I have plenty of questions for you and I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts. You're also encouraged to ask your own questions to the other participants.
☝️ The session is divided as such:
- Let’s introduce ourselves (10 minutes)
- Misc. & les news (10 minutes)
- Get to the meat of the discussion (30 minutes)
- French film/music/book suggestions and voilà (10 minutes)
The unique Zoom link will be available to the participants on this page, on the day of the event.
