Bastille day in Lafayette
Reaching out to the community ...French For Fun is always interested in promoting and/or participating in events organized by the francophone/francophile community of the San Francisco Bay Area and introducing our young students to the many faces who speak french all around them.
French is not a school activity -- it is a world language! With a béret on, or a glass of wine...every one speaks French! Make sure to tell us if you hear of an opportunity to get together en français..
Our very own Mme Isabelle and her husband Jeff perform throughout the Bay area and beyond. Jazz with a French twist. For more information, visit www.duogadjo.com

My name is Suzanne Sutton, owner of Artémis en Provence. I met Catherine Jolivet and her group of students from the Bay Area in June 2010 when they visited Okhra, Le Conservatoire des ocres et de la couleur, where I'm working.
Born in Oakland, educated in Berkeley, I've been living in France since 1973 and in Provence since 1990. If you plan to visit Provence, you are welcome to stay at my gîtes (rentals). In addition to my rentals, I also guide, teach English, and translate. Warm wishes from Provence! Suzanne
