The Lady to talk to is Fatima Baina (And she speaks english). The number is 05.59.30.14.63. The times vary depending on what level you're in, but most are on during the day. The price is fantastic. It's €8 a year for administration and then €15 a trimester (April to June), and then they're closed for the summer. I'd call quick if I were you, because places are limited i'd think. It's definately worth a call, and you can go to the classes on the days that suit you if you need to work it around something else. Good luck!
I'm living in Pau and I've found a French course in Centre Social du Hameau. The courses are on every day from monday to Friday and have 3 different levels. Unbelievably cheap, which is a priority. I can get you the phone number if you're interested?!
Hi Cecile and Gordy,
Congrats on your new baby! I guess it'll be a while before yous get the chance to go out socialising! I think the next coffee morning with APP is 17th March, so I'll probably go along to that, perhaps we could meet up there? I'm looking into finding some French lessons too, so I'll let you know how I get on, Leesa x

Hey Gordy!
Any luck with finding French evening lessons? I work a few hours a week cleaning for a family and minding their children, but I'm badly in the need of full time work and don't have the French to do that! Let me know if you hear of anything.
Congratulations on the arrival of Olivier. I am getting rid of all my baby stuff, most free to a good home and am having an 'open house' to do this on Wednesday 4th february pm and Thursday 5th February am. Please come along and help your self to anything you need. Thursday morning is the mother and toddler group at my house so the directions will be in the newsletter and you can meet some of the other mums as well.

Wow Gordy! Congratulations on little Olivier's arrival. You must be so thrilled tonight! Guess you're busy phoning family and wetting baby's head. Please give mum and baby my very best wishes and if I don't see you on Tuesday morning, I will understand but hope to see you soon.
Hi Gordy, what news of the baby. Has he arrived yet? Do let us know how you found the French system. I'm still working on someone to teach you French! Are you able to come on Tuesday morning to the coffee meeting. I'd love to make contact and yes, I WILL be there - honest! Someone else will be there who just might be able to help you with learning French.................

Hi Gordy, Great to hear from you! I would normally be at the coffee meeting but have an important appointment next week. However, I'm hoping that Magde will be there and a few others........ If you'd both like to meet up for a coffee some time (apart from Tuesday) I'd love to meet you both. Just let me know.
Hi Gordon,
Lovely to see new people on the Community! You are most welcomed, don't let Sharon frighten you away! She knows what I mean, just a joke ;-)) !!! The membership form is on the main...
Our family have only been in the area for a year and it's a nice place to live, with the ocean and the mountains very close. Summer will soon be there now.
By the way, how did you get to know about APP?
