Our events and activities
Monthly events are offered, from October through May, at varying hours: morning, followed by lunch; afternoon, followed by tea; or evening, with a light buffet. Most events are in French, although one or two may be in English. Intended to broaden acquaintance with French culture, we offer a variety of subjects, including art, music, literature, history, travel in France, for example. Admission is free to members, and non- members are welcome to attend any two of these events per year, for an admission charge of $10.00 per event.

French speakers are invited to join Alliance members at purely social monthly luncheons, where all conversation is in French. These "no host" luncheons (with participants ordering and paying for their own meals) are held at various restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley and on varying days of the week.
