Meeting on the first Thursday of each month, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, this group has a lot of fun sipping wine, tasting cheese and crackers and taking turns reading out loud in French. Enjoy hearing and sharing the richness of the French language.

March’s meeting is at the winter location : our AF Center in Southbury.

The title of the current selection is “Lutetia” by Pierre Assouline and the group will continue their reading starting on page 74 at the paragraph that begins: “Cet homme là-bas, par example.”

Lutetia (2005) raconte une histoire d’amour entre le détective du Lutetia et une amie d’enfance, mais surtout une histoire de la France de 1938 à 1945 à travers l’histoire de l’Hôtel Lutetia qui a, durant toute l’Occupation, servi de siège à l’Abwehr (les services secrets de l’état-major allemand) puis, à la Libération, de lieu d’accueil des déportés et rapatriés.

AFNWCT Members attend for free; A suggested donation of $5 is requested from others.
