Et puis … il y eut Vienne

Présentation par Clare St Lawrence

Je vous parlerai de mes expériences à Vienne, Isère. On connaîtra les monuments romains, l’histoire de la fin les Templiers, et l’âge d’or de l’industrie textile. Entre autres, on apprendra sur le deuxième marché de France et sur un des festivals de jazz les plus célèbres du monde.

Clare will be at the centre to make her presentation and we hope many of you will be coming to the Oglethorpe Hall, Crown Court Car Park, Godalming GU7 1DY. As usual, the lecture will start at 7:30pm. Alternatively, if you are unable to travel on the night, you can watch the lecture on Zoom (link will be emailed to you more near the time). At the end of the lecture, you will be able to purchase signed copies of Clare’s book (£15, cash preferred).

Coffee and French conversation session: Friday 19th September

Come and join us for a coffee and a chat at the King’s Arms Hotel in Godalming High Street from 10.00am until 11:30am. You can arrive and leave at any time between 10am and 11:30am. Our chats are very informal and relaxed and we hope many of you will join us again!
