Would you like to practice your French language while discovering or re-discovering Irish and French Cultures? This class would be the perfect combination between Language and Art.
Nominated for a Dublin Living Awards 2011, this French Master Class is held every Wednesday morning from 10.30 am up to 12.30 pm in Cultural and Heritage Sites in Dublin (museums, exhibitions, talks...) where we discover an exhibition or attend a cultural event which will be followed by a discussion in French around a coffee/tea.
At the end of the month, we will meet up for a lovely lunch to discuss about our impressions on the events.
