Le French Apéro

Speak French, Make Friends, Have Fun!

Bienvenue to Le French Apéro, your new favourite monthly meet-up in Auckland!

I’m Léa, the face behind “Oh là là with Léa”, your French teacher. But now, I’m bringing the French vibes offline with a brand new social event for French speakers and lovers of French culture right here in Auckland.

Why Le French Apéro?

  • Practice French in real life

  • Meet new people from all backgrounds

  • Feel connected to the French-speaking community

  • Have fun in a casual, welcoming space

  • And yes, it’s free! No ticket, no signup, just show up, order a drink, and join the conversation.

When & Where?

Join us every second Thursday of the month, starting 14 August 2025, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the cozy and cool Portland Public House in Kingsland.

What is Le French Apéro?

It’s a relaxed, friendly evening where French language and culture come to life over a drink. Whether you're:

  • A French expat new to NZ or here for a while

  • A Kiwi with a love for all things French

  • A total beginner or fluent speaker

  • Someone looking to practice, improve, or just connect

… this event is for you.

Think of it as your monthly dose of French conversation, culture, and connection, no pressure, no lessons, just good vibes, good people, and a little help from me to keep the French flowing!

I’ll Be Your Host!

I’ll be there every month to introduce people, guide the flow, and help you feel comfortable speaking French, no matter your level.

Ready to join the apéro crew?
