About Us

We are a group of English speaking people of a variety of nationalities who like to get together to enjoy the pleasures of the Central Manche area of Normandy and to learn  more about its history, culture, food and way of life.  We have around 95 members most of whom live in France.

We organise regular social events, visits to places of interest and gardens in addition to sessions for those who want to improve their French/English (we have many French members). We also have a book club, dance and walking groups.

Every year, the association supports a charity and donates all surplus profits that were unintentionally generated from our organised events. The charity is selected by our members from a few charities they have nominated. The charity selected for 2025-2026 is Pollinis – Save the Bees (https://www.pollinis.org/). This independent non-governmental organisation received the most votes at our Annual General Meeting on 31st October.

Our calendar of events is shown below.

Membership is 10€ each per year.
