Spring is Immersion Day
Every Spring, AFN hosts an Immersion Day, which features activities and workshops conducted in French. Participants learn about the francophone world, play French games, eat French foods, taste French wines, and converse with each other solely in French.
Immersion Day is designed for speakers of French at all levels except beginner, and most presenters are native speakers. Thus, participants are truly immersed in French for an entire day.

FRENCH FETES (SOIREES)
The Members’ Gathering
The French Fêtes (the new name for soirées) are AFN members’ favorite event. Each member or guest brings a favorite dish and a bottle of wine to share in an informal potluck.
In addition to enjoying an entertaining and informative evening, historians, artists, wine experts, distinguished foreign guests, and a variety of other fascinating people may offer a short program at these events.
Past presenters include The Nashville Symphony’s Giancarlo Guerrero, Musica’s sculptor Alan LeQuire, the owner of Little Gourmand and delightful culinarian Guenièvre Milliner, and Michael Shane Neal, the portrait artist who painted the US Ambassador to France Charles Rivkin.
Please check our calendar for more details on a specific French Fête. Contact us with any questions.
