The Book: Le Chateau de Ma Mère - Marcel Pagnol

Read this French classic at our book club over 3 months. It's an autobiographical account of Pagnol's idyllic childhood summers in La Garrigue near to Marseille. We chose it because we loved La Gloire De Mon Père so much!

Pagnol was the film maker of Jean de Florette fame.

Come if you are level 2 or above

It's a beautiful read and a great way to see informal language on a page whilst enjoying a little French nostalgia along with the simple pleasures of childhood in a simpler time.

👩‍🎓 3  Live book club meetings

We meet on Zoom 3 times and read passages and discuss - the language, characters, plot and cultural and historic cues of interest.

It is more relaxed than a regular class. Prep helps but is not essential. It's now on a Sunday as a relaxing way to finish your weekend.
