WICE holds
a unique spot in the Paris expat community, with its diverse offering of courses
in English. WICE also holds free weekly
French-English conversation groups and many free social events throughout the
year.
Some of
the main advantages of participating in WICE’s exciting activities are making
friends, learning helpful and insightful tips about living in France, and
creating your own sense of community here in Paris. But WICE is not only for the expat community
in Paris. For the local French community,
WICE's courses and events are a great way to improve your English by joining up
with other English speakers while pursuing an activity that you enjoy.
