Welcome to the Alliance Française of Bonita Springs

2010 was a measurable milestone for our chapter as we reached our tenth anniversary here in Southwest Florida. I like to refer to our original 34 members as the “Francophile Pilgrims” that landed on Barefoot Beach and grew to our 260 some members that belong to our Bonita Springs Chapter today.

Our doors opened immediately with a school that teaches the debutantes as well as some of our more seasoned French speakers, and classes cover much more than that terrible collection of verbs known as “le subjonctif” !

Our luncheons each month try for a creative extra with speakers or student participation and “Questions For The Champions” takes the prize for fun. Great cuisine tempts us at our Rendez-Vous and les Galettes de Roi issue a King and Queen each January.

As part of the Federation of Alliances Françaises USA, we are pleased to share the mission of fostering French language and culture, and add our share of support in the continuum of Franco-American friendship.

As always, when you find yourself here in Southwest Florida, the Alliance Française of Bonita Springs welcomes you to our chapter on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

À bientôt,
