With about 60 active members, the UNSW French Society is all about getting to meet people and practice a language! 

Speakers range from beginners to native speakers, so if you’re taking a French course and need an edge or just enjoy the language swing by for a chat. Between Crepe days, gritty French movies, merlot infused wine nights, and picnics at the Botanic Gardens, this society wants you to get involved! So say Bonjour to your new squad, and get ready to learn a new language to make people go Oh là là!

Throughout semester 1, the French Society has organised numerous events to engage with Francophones and Francophiles in the UNSW community. We have hosted weekly conversation groups which allow students to practice their French language skills and enhance their knowledge of French culture, society and politics. The French Society has also arranged various events so that students can enjoy and eat French food, including, a start of semester picnic, a crêpe day, and a dinner at Four Frogs Crêperie. We also hosted a film outing to see ‘Paris pieds nus’ during the Alliance Française Film Festival and a movie and wine night at uni where we watched ‘Potiche’.
