Le Cercle Français
All students of French are welcome to join the French Club, Le Cercle français, and participate in the many cultural activities it organizes. First of all, there is the weekly Table française, where anyone interested in practicing their French in a relaxed setting can come have lunch and chat. Students of all levels, as well as native French speakers and several faculty members from other domains have enjoyed this tradition every semester since 2001. In addition to the Table française, the Cercle français organizes activities such as the following:
- Viewing of French-language films on campus
- Trips to area cinemas to see French-language films together
- Trips to area theatre events where French-language productions take place
- French food potluck dinners
- Singing traditional French carols at the Boone Home Christmas Walk
- Making food and providing entertainment for the Annual International Festival
- Volunteering together at the St. Louis International Institute's Festival of Nations
