Le Café Français, a French conversation group, has resumed its in-person meetings in Edgecomb. French speakers of all levels are welcome. Participation, without pressure, allows attendees to have a “mini French immersion” experience once a week, according to a prepared release from the group.
Conversation topics and presentations include French language, songs, culture and other topics of mutual interest. Though not a formal language class, new phrases, vocabulary and pronunciation are explained.
Group meetings are free of charge and drop-in participants are welcome. Meetings are from 10-11:30 a.m. every Monday at the Edgecomb Community Church, located at the intersection of Eddy and Cross Point roads. Conversation leaders include experienced French instructor Margot Stiassni. For more information, contact Stiassni at 882-7593 or domusic123@gmail.com.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
