This is a great opportunity to speak French locally! Thanks Franco Center for sharing!

10:30am Thursday, Feb. 19 is the next Parlez Vous? French conversation meetup at the Franco Center, 46 Cedar St., Lewiston. These bi-weekly meetings are held every other Thursday and are open to anyone who already speaks French and who wants to have conversations in French with others who also speak French.

This week's meetup will be held in the upstairs Performance Hall while the floor in our Lower Level is being refinished.
