JUNE BULLETIN
Café-Croissant will be on Saturday 1 June. We will be meeting at 9:30am at Hygge of Clifton Bay, 468 Clifton Road, Te Awanga. This is a great location for a French breakfast with « croissants ». There is plenty of parking just before you reach the restaurant and it's a nice location to start King's Birthday weekend. You can even go on a walk before or after.
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 to Barbara by Thursday 30 May and include whether you would like croissants. Notre "Café-Croissant" vous permet de rencontrer des francophiles tout en prenant le petit-déjeuner ! |
