Join art historian Fabienne Manele for this free online conference in French, jointly organised by the UK network of Alliances Françaises. For this talk in French, we recommend a good B1 level upwards.
“Les châteaux cathares sont en lice pour un classement UNESCO sous le nom de “citadelles du vertige”. Fabienne, conférencière nationale, à l’étranger la majeure partie de l’année mais en Occitanie dès qu’elle peut poser ses bagages sur le sol français vous proposera d’en savoir plus sur leur histoire et cette appellation sujette à caution.”

Free French Conversation Exchange:

Practise your French in a relaxed 45 mins chat with fellow Alliance Française students! Short conversations, suggested topics, and no pressure. Free and perfect for all levels. Join us!

How does it work? You will speak with other Alliance Française students from the United Kingdom in small groups for a very short period of time, after which you will change discussion partners. We will provide you with suggested conversation starters for each session, but you are free to talk about whatever you want (in French)! You will be mixed with students of the same level, and there will be no pressure to speak quickly. Hope to see you there!

We will send you the Zoom link shortly before the event.
