AFCC deplores the senseless loss of lives, injury and grief suffered by the people of Paris on Friday.
We wish to express our sincere sympathy and solidarity towards all French people on the Central Coast.
Whilst the hapless victims were in Paris, this crime affects not just the French people, but this crime against humanity affects all of us as well.
We grieve with them.
Our President, Ary, has collated a number of French film reviews. All AFCC members can borrow these French movies from our Médiathèque.

In order to cater for native French speakers, as well as advanced French speakers in general, we now offer at our monthly rendez-vous the opportunity to simply come together for a chat.
We have given this the name “Club Causerie”. This opportunity will be available starting at our next regular meeting on October 11, 2014.
Désormais, à chaque réunion, les Francophones et ceux qui sont confiants auront le choix de se mettre en petit groupe afin de causer ensemble.
The Alliance Francaise Cote Centrale runs a number of French language courses throughout the year.
To make it easier to find a class that suits you, we have created a new table for term 4, 2014.
