Please note there is no Café-Croissant in January but do join us the first Saturday of the month in February when we will have Café-Croissant in various cafes around Hawkes Bay which will start again on 3 February.
It's a great opportunity for breakfast and chat in French, Frenglish or French. There will be a French speaking part of the table avec un petit drapeau français! RSVP by Thursday before the date and include whether you would like croissants. Notre "Café-Croissant" vous permet de rencontrer des francophiles tout en prenant le petit-déjeuner ! |

Monsieur Macaron has also been one of our valued sponsors and many of you will know Ben and his friendly team from the Hawke's Bay Farmers' Market. He also does home deliveries of macaron & all kinds of French pastries. Nothing beats waking up on a Saturday morning and breakfast is already there!

I’ve heard at our French lessons some students sneakily order at the start of the lesson so they make the first 50 orders. Treat yourself and your family this summer!
