Welcome to the ANGLOPHONE ASSOCIATION OF COUTANCES (est.1993)
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 90 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. Our calendar of events is shown below.
Membership is 10€ each per year.
