Cardiff has two main cultural associations for those interested in France and the French language.
La Société Franco-Britannique De Cardiff was founded in 1906 with the object of ‘the promotion of friendly relations and mutual understanding between the peoples of France and Great Britain, primarily by encouraging the study of the French language and culture’.
There is a regular programme of talks, some on Zoom and some held in Insole Court, Fairwater Road, Llandaff, Cardiff CF5 2LN. There is a car park on site.
The programme for 2023-24 is available by clicking here.
For more information, please contact paul.stephens@talktalk.net
The Club de Français de Cardiff was founded in 1978 for all those interested in France, its people and culture. Adults learning French are especially welcome and while we try to give opportunities for those attending to speak French, it is not essential to be fluent in the language. The talks are, for the most part, in French, but speakers are asked to speak slowly, use uncomplicated language and use illustrations if possible.
Meetings take place fortnightly on Friday evenings. Face-to-face meetings are held in the Memorial Hall, Lon Ucha, Rhiwbina, Cardiff CF14 6HL . There is free parking at the site. Some sessions are also held on Zoom and these are open to our friends in Nantes.
