Has your class ended and you can't wait for our winter session registrations to open next week? To avoid over a month-long gap between the end of the fall and the beginning of the winter sessions, we have decided to offer some short programs to keep you busy this December! Check out our upcoming offerings starting December 7. Enroll today!

À votre santé ! Members are invited to ring in the holiday season online with us this year. Dress festive but don't forget your aprons as we'll start by learning how to make an indulgent tarte au chocolat with Chef Diane Manteca. We'll then partake in some good conversation, share your photos of the holidays from around the francophone world, and toast to les fêtes !

Foodies, be ready for a once-in-a-lifetime evening! On December 3 we are honored to welcome one of the most iconic chefs in New York, Chef Alain Allegretti. Join us to learn his secrets, how he deals with stress and food critics, and share the sense of accomplishment one gets from being the chef of his own restaurants. Last but not least Chef Alain will give us some tips on how to add a French twist to your holiday meals!

Start or continue your journey into the French language without the hassle of leaving home. During the closure we have moved our classes online for your convenience. Our online classes offer the same high quality instruction and teachers as our language classes here at the Center. We hope to e-meet you this winter!

Join us to kick off the Holiday Season. Kids and Teens will have fun doing arts & crafts, baking, story time and learning about Holiday traditions! All workshops are in French and led by our amazing teachers.

Champagne lovers, start your holidays early with our friend Alexandre Sojfer, sommelier at La Voile Brookline for another fun and educational evening! This exceptional tasting will feature 5 champagnes from one of the most iconic French champagne brands, Maison Lanson.

This year we will miss our beloved Marché de Noël but we won’t miss having a taste of France to give as a present, to share with friends and family or to keep for yourself as a well-deserved treat! We have prepared for you a package of hand-selected French delights from some of our local partners.

When the crisis hit last March, we moved all classes and cultural events online. We intended to reopen the Center this month. With the pandemic’s endpoint nowhere in sight, however, we have decided to take bold action.

Rather than reopening while the health risk remains high, the Center instead will undertake a major building renovation that we have contemplated for years. In doing so, we are turning the disruption of the Covid-19 crisis into an exciting opportunity to serve you better. Visit our dedicated page for the renovation to learn more about the upcoming improvements. We will be updating the page with news about the renovation when we have more to share.
