OUR AIMS AND VALUES
The Leicester French Circle is a social group of members and supporters who share a passion for the French language and culture.
We arrange talks in French at the Oadby Tennis Club and also online on the Zoom platform through our panel of speakers from the Alliance Française and from the French Circle.
We also organise social events at the Oadby Tennis Club, Café Chloe Gourmet in the city centre and at the Phoenix cinema.
From time to time, we are asked to recommend French tutors for adults and children. This is not part of our remit, and we would recommend that you search locally through organisations such as Leicestershire Adult Learning Services. The Leicester French Circle takes seriously its safeguarding responsibility to its members and to others with whom we interact and therefore cannot recommend individual language tutors.
We also receive unsolicited requests from authors and others wishing to promote their books and commercial services. Unfortunately, we have to politely decline their requests as we are a social organisation with no wish to promote commercial enterprises.
