PROGRAMME FOR 2020/2021

Due to the well publicised COVID 19 outbreak, all of our meetings for this season will be held using the Zoom video conferencing platform.

ABOUT US

A Bit of Background

The Leicester French Circle, founded in 1899, is an Anglo-French Society welcoming everyone interested in France and the French language. Evening meetings usually take the form of a presentation, in French, on a wide variety of subjects.

The programme for 2020/2021 has been designed for delivery on the Zoom video conferencing platform. This innovation for the Leicester French Circle is our considered response to the COVID-19 health pandemic. As and when we are able to safely return to the Oadby Tennis Club for our meetings then we will carefully review our programme. The health and safety of our members is always our top priority.

The Leicester French Circle is affiliated to the Alliance Française, an association that supports French Circles around Britain and similar societies abroad. The aim of this worldwide association is the diffusion of the French language and culture.
