A little piece of France in Godalming
Welcome to Les Amitiés Françaises, a friendly society bringing people together through a shared enthusiasm for France, its language, literature, art and history.
Founded in 1989, we offer an engaging programme of talks, a French Cercle Littéraire and enjoyable opportunities to meet fellow Francophiles. Whether you speak French fluently or simply love French culture, you are warmly welcome.
