French & International Meetups

The Pittsburgh French & International Meetup Groups is a well established group for French speakers of all ages and abilities to meet up and practice French conversation & share interests in French culture.

We have been meeting for French Conversation for the past 3 years Saturdays at the Coffee Tree on Walnut Street in Shady Side. We also meet most weeks at other locations in Pittsburgh for fun, conversation, & exchange of ideas.

This is a French club unlike any other French club in Pittsburgh. We are a group for casual French speakers looking to socialize and have a good time together. If you like meeting new, and socializing with interesting and fun people, stop reading and join this group now. We are the group for you.
