Join us for a stroll in a park while speaking French!
Shelley Lake Park
1400 W Millbrook Rd, Raleigh, NC 27612
The Shelley Lake Park loop trail is a relaxed 2 miles, making it ideal for a Sunday morning stroll at a conversational pace. We’ll meet at the trailhead off the Millbrook parking lot and enjoy some fresh air while putting our French to good use.
Note: The walk may be canceled if it rains - because conjugating verbs is hard enough without wet socks.
In French. For members and aspiring members.
Our Club de Lecture is held online once a month.
