November '26 Newsletter
November is here, bringing an extra hour of sleep and weather so gorgeous we almost feel guilty staying indoors. Add a generous helping of French fun, et voilà ! We’ve got your fall joie de vivre covered, rain or shine, indoors or out.
Our pétanque contest, now scheduled for November 7, has been postponed twice by the weather gods, who appear to hold a grudge against boules. We're hoping the third time's the charm. Otherwise, we'll have to consider indoor pétanque, which could be exciting for the furniture, if not the players.
Meanwhile, you can dream of warmer adventures at our webinar about our New Orleans immersion trip in early January, just in time for Carnival - because nothing says language learning like jazz and beignets. And speaking of French immersion, a few spots remain for Aix-en-Provence in March 2027: Provençal charm, bustling markets, and absolutely no leaf raking.
Back home, we'll explore the Ancient Nubia exhibition at the NCMA, then journey through time of a different sort at our Ciné-Club screening of the award-winning Colors of Time movie. Art, history, and French cinema: all the cultural enrichment, none of the homework.
We'll round out the month with our Thanksgiving Potluck & Art Opening, where turkey meets tartiflette and fellow member Belynda Chambers' whimsical art adds a little extra color to the festivities. Turkey, tartiflette, and watercolors? Cultural exchange at its most delicious!
Whether you're here for culture, conversation, or a perfectly legitimate excuse to postpone your holiday shopping, there's something for you
this November. After all, life is too short to spend every fall weekend raking leaves. À bientôt!
