Monthly Café Littéraire — French Conversation Classes “Read Little, Read Together”

  • Mother Foucault's Bookshop 715 Southeast Grand Avenue Portland, OR, 97214 United States (map)

This winter and spring, L’École Buissonnière invites you to a monthly Café Littéraire, a French conversation class rooted in literature, seasonal culture, and thoughtful exchange.

Inspired by French cafés as places of ideas, debate, and imagination, these gatherings offer a slow, intimate approach to the French language. Each 90-minute session opens a thematic doorway through short literary texts, guided conversation, and gentle creative practices.

The focus is not performance or fluency at all costs, but presence, curiosity, and pleasure in thinking together.

Each month highlights a seasonal cultural moment in France, including traditions that shape language and collective imagination.

 APRIL 5th | Read Little, Read Together
Lire peu, mais lire ensemble
Seasonal focus: Poisson d’Avril médiatique & la tradition du chocolat et des œufs de Pâques
