AWG History and Purpose

AWG was founded in 1949 as an outgrowth of the pre-war American Women’s Club. It is the longest-standing organization of American women in France. AWG means something different to every member.

For some, it’s the enormous number of Activities we offer including cooking classes, visits to expositions and tours of famous monuments.We offer activities on evenings and weekends for working women and families. We offer an activity almost every day.For some it’s the opportunity to get involved in the community and volunteer. Opportunities abound. Your painting, planting and friendly visiting skills are immeasurably valued.

Are you looking for a Book Club? Hiking group? Buddies for Bridge?French conversation groups. Meeting new friends at a local café? We offer all kinds of special interest groups. To many of us, it means taking advantage of it all! There is no need to be bored or lonely in Paris.
