 Important notice: Bank account changes
Our banking details have recently changed.  While our BSB remains the same, i.e., 082 707, our account number has changed to 712939366.  The change enables payments to be made using Osko, resulting in funds being transferred in real-time. The older account number will be closed very soon so we encourage you to update to the new account.

Our most popular activity, our monthly Petit Déjeuner, is held at various outdoor locations in our beautiful region. This is a morning of French conversation, fine food and the odd game of pétanque (boules). Our members are a mix of native speakers, high school teachers of French and travellers who have a love of France and its language and culture. If you would like to become a member please click here.
