Rockhampton at Riverston Tea Rooms (Quay Street) between 1.00pm to 3.00pm
Yeppoon (Rosslyn Bay) at The Waterline from 1:30pm to 3:00pm

La Chandeleur 31 Jan.
Crêpes, culture, and a dash of French fun — La Chandeleur is coming to Alliance Française on 31 January, and you’re invited* to flip, taste, and celebrate with us. Instead of our usual Yeppoon Conversation Group, we’re gathering for a fun and delicious Chandeleur celebration.
Join us at 1.30pm for a sweet start to the year — à vos crêpes and see you there!
*This event is held at a private residence and is for members only. Invitations will be emailed.
French Film Festival
29 to 31 May
Our team is deep in preparation mode, putting the final touches on the film selection and shaping an event that celebrates the best of French cinema. More details will be shared very soon as everything comes together. Stay tuned ! Something special is on the way.
French Singing Workshop - 21 June
Warm up your vocal cords! Our June workshop will be a joyful dive into French songs, perfect for all levels. The team is currently finalising the venue and curating a vibrant selection of tunes. And yes, French pronunciation support is absolutely part of the fun!
14 Juillet Bastille Day
On Sunday 12 July, we will gather on the coast for a relaxed day of French cultural connection. The event offers a chance to socialise with fellow Francophiles. Whether you’re a regular or just curious, it’s a gentle way to mark the season and enjoy a touch of French spirit by the sea.
Le Bon Weekend 17-18 October
Le Bon Week‑end returns this October at The Haven near Emu Park, offering a relaxed mix of French language and cultural activities. It’s a gentle way to deepen your knowledge of anything French—from everyday expressions to food and wine—while enjoying a peaceful coastal setting.
