A Word from the President

Anglophones Connecting in the   South of France

Who We Are
A nonprofit social networking association launched in February 2011 with a diverse membership and a varied range of activities to match. AGLR has received a warm welcome from the Anglophone community as well as excellent support from local authorities and institutionals.

 Our Aims

• To help English speaking newcomers adapt to life in the area

• To preserve and share Anglophone traditions, language and culture

• To promote a continuing exchange of friendship and understanding with the French community

Fundraising and Philanthropy

A dedicated team of volunteers coordinates AGLR activities and our benefits are donated to local charities. Our members also volunteer to support local charities and nonprofit events.

Our Activities

Designed with adults, teens and toddlers in mind we offer book and film discussions, hikes, children’s playgroups, whisky and wine tastings, French conversation, bridge, potluck lunches and excursions. Our recently launched business forums and cooking courses have been wildly successful. Please click on the ‘Activities’ tab for a monthly listing .

Membership and Benefits

Membership application forms are available on the website. AGLR membership also provides access to our Members’ section containing useful information for newcomers, a monthly newsletter, recipes and gardening tips, the detailed calendar and small adds.   Members can also join our email forum,  service that permits all registered members to receive group messages in their mailboxes. Need specific advice? Want to buy or sell something?  The "AGLR forum" lets you communicate with other members easily and effectively.

AGLR  is pleased to be a part of a greater network of Anglophones in the South of France. The population in the area is currently the fastest-growing in France, and also among the fastest-growing in Europe as an increasing flow of people from northern France and the north of Europe relocate to the sunbelt. Greatly inspired by the immensely successful group in Provence "AAGP” (Anglo-American Group of Provence) the AGLR was founded by two former members of the group in Provence who relocated to the Languedoc Roussillon.
