Every month and a half, the Alliance Française Amsterdam organises a one-hour "Cercle de lecture" at Oba Oosterdok from
6pm to 7pm.
Those Cercles de lecture are the perfect occasion to practise your French with other Francophiles and book-lovers. During one hour, we discuss the themes at the heart of the chosen book, talk about how the story and text are structured, compare with other artistic pieces and enlarge our perspectives on literature.
Come and join us for our next Cercle! Stay tuned and follow us on social media at @alliancefrancaiseamsterdam to know the next date.
