Imagine sipping a mug of latte and reading L'Etranger while listening to E.P.’s soothing music. Sounds very romantic, doesn’t it? The good news is you don’t have to go to France for that experience. Right here in National Taiwan University there is a club studying French culture! The French Culture Club was established in 1996 by a group of students who had a passion for French culture. Why French? When being asked this question, the founder of the club answered, “As a European leader for hundreds of years, France has outstanding achievements in many fields, such as literature, philosophy, and art. In Taiwan, however, people know nothing about French culture except Chanel, which really is a great pity.” This was the reason he wanted to establish a club that focuses on French culture. In the beginning, there were not very many members in the club since it was not very well known. Later on, after many successful activities, more and more students joined. Now, there are more than twenty members in the club and they form five groups, art, literature, fashion, travel, and food. Group leaders take turns giving presentations during club meetings. Members discuss the group leaders’ talks and share their own understanding of France and its culture. The club also holds evening study groups where members can discuss literary and philosophical books written by French authors. This semester the club will host a “French Week” during May. There will be a series of lectures and performances. Are you interested in this elegant club? Find out more on the BBS at 140.112.28.191 or 140.112.250.10 to check the schedule on the club board. Or join their activities at noon on Mondays and Thursdays in room 403 of the Kung Tung (共同)Building. a
