Practical Help
Association Franco Anglaise
In 2005 a group of British and French residents from Royan started AFA to encourage interaction between the cultures. Over the years the association has grown and now we have a full diary of events year round including arts and crafts, clubs for different interests, visits etc. The committee is equal British/French to encourage integration of members and improvement of language skills.
