Le RDV FRANCAIS
Le RDV est un espace d'échanges, de convivialité, en toute simplicité. Un groupe qui donne l'occasion aux francophones de toutes les nationalités, de se faire connaissance, se revoir et prendre du bon temps ensemble.
Le RDV FRANCAIS is a rapidly growing group of French speakers of all ages and nationalities in the Houston area. We hold regular events each month to gather, speak French and share our mutual interests in French culture all while having a good time. We all enjoy getting together to chat and meet other Francophones in relaxed social settings.
RDV is much more than simply another Francophone social conversational group. We actively seek to provide opportunities and activities focused on learning about and exposure to French culture. If you are traveling to France or are just interested in French culture you've come to the right place.
You will have opportunities to learn more about all aspects of French culture and customs including greeting people when in France, dinner table etiquette, avoiding communication faux pas, learning about French wines and cheeses, cuisine, literature, philosophy, and holidays all in a relaxed, friendly environment. Additionally, we organize events such as outings to restaurants, trendy bars, French films, live music, sports related activities, outdoor events and much more.
There is no charge for attending regular RDV events, so come along and keep us company at our next meetup! Our members are composed of French nationals, Americans as well as an assortment of other nationalities.
