About the Maison française / French House

The Maison française, located in the 3rd floor of Giles Hall, in the Randolph Complex, offers residents a true Francophone experience.

The academic and cultural mission of the Maison française is to immerse students in a living environment that fosters increased language study and cultural awareness. Native speaking Tutors facilitate conversation hours, movie nights, cultural celebrations, cooking classes and many other activities for all residents. In addition, they post office hours to provide help with language courses.
