Our Clubs
Morning language exchanges
​Morning language exchanges are an informal opportunity to practice your English/French over a cup of coffee. Language Exchange meets every Thursday morning for an hour, starting at 9:30 am.
Game Nights
Discover classic and new games in English and French! Let your competitive side shine with a fun-filled monthly game night hosted by fellow members!
"Mums only" night out
The mums, mamas, madres, and mamans of Crossroads all meet for a monthly night out! This is a great chance to let your hair down and skip out on the grind of the bedtime routine.
Coffee mornings
Crossroads coffee mornings are all about meeting old friends and making new ones, over a hot cuppa and some delicious croissants. We meet the first Tuesday of every month at a centrally located coffee shop in Fontainebleau. Everyone is welcome! As they say "Coffee and Friends make the perfect blend".
Playgroup
The playgroup meets every Friday at 9:30 am to 11:30 am and caters to children from birth to 3 years. It is a good opportunity for babies to have fun and a welcome chance for adults to chat over coffee. Feel free to drop in, we look forward to meeting you all!
Toddlers and troops
The toddlers and troops meet every Wednesday at 4:00 pm for outside open play, in and around Fontainebleau. This group is for children ages 3+ to get together and explore different areas and make new friends.
Book Club
The Book Club was started around 30 years ago (in 1988) and has met regularly since. Some of us have been there from the beginning but we always welcome new members.
We read one book a month and meet together one afternoon to discuss it over coffee and cake.
Crossroads Writers Club
The Crossroads Writers Club provides a monthly opportunity for writers to share their work, ask for feedback, and support each other’s efforts. The eleven current members write both fiction and non-fiction—romance, humor, young adult, science fiction, memoirs, and poetry.
Check out our published books:
- Kaleidoscope (2019)
- Blue Fountain (2017).
Needlework
The needlework group welcomes new and old members whether you are a beginner or ‘old hand’. It's easy to learn new things with kind coaches: crocheting or knitting or embroidery, sewing, quilting, mending ..., help and friendly advice are to be found there!
Monday morning walks
We have been walking on Monday mornings for many years now. The idea is to start the week off with a pleasant walk (in all weathers!) for about an hour and a half in the forest around Fontainebleau and in the grounds of the Château in deep winter. Please come and join us, we shall be happy to welcome you.
Please note, our group needs a coordinator and is currently inactive.
Evening Drinks
Come and join us for a drink and explore new bars in and around Fontainebleau. We also do karaoke, salsa, and other themed outings. This is an adults-only event. Cheers!
Volunteering
Several of our Members are taking the opportunity to be involved in some wonderful projects and activities in our area.
​We can give as much, or as little time as we want and the « return on investment » is enormous!
Some french may be neccessary for certain projects.
