THE BORDEAUX WOMEN'S CLUB was created at the end of World War II by American military wives living in France. They sought a way to welcome new arrivals and encourage friendships among American women living abroad. In 1984, we became an official association, recognized by the French government. Over the years during which international travel and relocation has become far more common, the Club has served a very large and active English-speaking community in the Bordeaux region.

Today, you will discover a dynamic mix of English-speaking women from many different countries who will make encounters in the Club very enriching. The overall purpose of the BORDEAUX WOMEN'S CLUB has remained helping the international English-speaking community of Bordeaux integrate into French life and culture. Accordingly, English-speaking foreigners, French citizens who have lived abroad in English-speaking countries, and spouses of native English speakers are invited to join. It is through the richness in the variety of our individual experiences that our exchanges contribute to the common bonds we share as women, as fellow members, and even as world citizens.

A wide range of regularly scheduled activities include: Monthly Luncheons, Conversation Group, Culture and Coffee, Book Club, Bridge, Cinema Club, Happy Hour, Bible Study, Crafts Group, Lending Library, Mothers and Toddlers Group, Walk and Talk, and Special Events. Details can all be found in the monthly newsletter.
