Some of our activities
Featured for September 2026
Pétanque in the Park
Tuesday, 1 September
Even if you’ve never picked up a set of boules in your life, you’ll fit right in with this fun and welcoming group. If the weather permits, many of us stay afterward to enjoy a picnic lunch — feel free to bring your own and join in.
Pub Night
Thursday, 3 September
This is a chance to have an informal chat and enjoy a drink at the same time !
Photo Challenge
Monday, 7 September
Each month, the Photo Escape Challenge explores a compositional theme — a visual idea that sharpens the eye and strengthens your photography. Members spend the month shooting around that theme, print their favorite images, and then meet in person to share, discuss, and exchange friendly, constructive criticism over a drink.
Coffee Chat
Saturday, 12 September
Come join us for a friendly and lively chat over a hot coffee or tea and perhaps a buttery croissant.
Travel Share
Tuesday, 15 September
This activity is designed for members who enjoy traveling within France and beyond. The idea is to share personal travel stories (including photos) while also offering tips on trip planning, travel hacks, etc.
Français Pour Tous
Saturday, 19 September
Français Pour Tous meet-ups are all about learning or practicing French in a fun way! This is the only BCA activity conducted primarily in French, and is a chance for all of you French speakers to come and help out those who are still learning to master the language. All levels of French speakers – from beginners to natives – are welcome to come and have a friendly and helpful chat.
Singing Group
Tuesday, 22 September
The Singing Group is a friendly, informal sing-along. We focus on familiar popular songs, mostly “oldies,” so everyone can jump in easily. This is not a performance-oriented group — the emphasis is on enjoying music together. We may share a song or lead a sing-along at BCA events, but participation in performances is always optional.
Coffee Chat
Friday, 25 September
Come join us for a friendly and lively chat in English over a hot coffee or tea.
