We ask that our members support our host restaurants by purchasing something to eat or drink during the gathering.
For in-person conversation groups, we are unable to reserve tables, so seating will be first come, first served.
The Zoom link will be sent to all members one day before the event. There is no need to pre-register.
Zoom sessions may be divided into small “breakout rooms” which enable more intimate conversation with some of your AF DuPage friends.
Get some exercise and speak French with your Alliance Française DuPage friends.
Next Meeting - Saturday April 20, 10:30 am
McDowell Grove Forest Preserve, 4s500 Raymond Dr, Naperville, IL 60563, USA.
Located on the West Branch of the DuPage River, McDowell offers a 3.5-mile loop turf and limestone trail which we will shorten to 2-2.5 miles. McDowell Grove has mature woodlands, open fields with eastern bluebirds and Cooper’s hawks, and a floodplain forest with towering butternuts and black maples.
Directions: The entrance is on the east side of Raymond Drive at McDowell Road 0.6 mile south of I-88 and 1.2 miles north of Ogden Avenue. We will meet at the parking lot which is located east of the intersection of Raymond Dr. and McDowell Rd., which has a stoplight, and is about half a mile south of Diehl Rd. There are porta potties nearby.
Please RSVP to let us know you plan to attend.
For all Marcher-Bavarder sessions it's helpful for you to RSVP to let us know if you’re coming. We’ll ask for your mobile phone number so we can contact you if needed on the day of the event.
Wear comfortable walking shoes/sneakers and bring your own water.
We will email meeting instructions the day before the event to all who have RSVP'd.
Our Rendez-vous provides more opportunities to say “Bonjour” to each other and for you to interact with the AF DuPage leadership team. Think of them as mini Open House meetings. The details are simple!
Our upcoming Rendez-Vous Avec Nous - All times 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Please email us at afdupagevp@gmail.com if you have any questions and/or if you plan to attend our “Rendezvous avec nous”. RSVPs are not required but helpful, so we have an idea of who to expect.
An opportunity to chat, en français, with Alliance Française members across the United States.
Wednesday evenings, 7:00-8:00 pm Central Time, hosted by Linda Witt, Federation of Alliances Françaises USA Board Past-President
Attendees will be assigned to breakout rooms of 4-5 people, with each breakout session lasting 12-14 minutes. The rooms are then re-created (for a different mix each time). In this way, participants get to meet and chat with a variety of participants from different backgrounds and fluency levels.
This group is for intermediate to advanced (or fluent) speakers who are current members of an Alliance Française chapter in the U.S.
