We’re the largest regular French gathering in Atlanta — and, we hope, the friendliest. We meet on the 3rd Monday of the month at Après Diem in Midtown unless otherwise noted.Since COVID, Après Diem does not have adequate staff to take individual drink orders, but they will provide one drink for a flat price of $9.00 from a select list of beers and wines (or, if you prefer, coffee or a soft drink). The $9.00 also covers the tax and tip. Food orders, or additional drinks, will be handled individually as before, and can be paid by cash or credit card.Combined with the standard $1.00 fee for each meetup, that means entering the meetup will require paying $10.00 — CASH ONLY. (No Zelle, no Cash App.)Anyone arriving without adequate cash can use the ATM located at the bar on the second floor, above Après Diem.We usually have 30–40 people attend: about 25% native French speakers (from France, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Haiti, Tunisia, Lebanon, Algeria, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Niger, Mauritius, etc.), and about 50% fluent or proficient non-native French speakers. Beginners are welcome, and we usually have 10–20 new people at each meetup. This is just a social gathering. There is no formal structure. Occasionally a parent will bring their young son or daughter, which is fine.Please sign in when you arrive, and note your country of origin. Those details are not shared with anyone after the meetup, only a total count (by country) of people who attended.Parking: please note that Midtown Promenade shopping center is now paid parking. The first 2 hours are free. Your license plate is scanned as you enter and leave the parking lot. If you haven't scanned the QR code and registered, and you exceed 2 hours, they'll send you a bill (with an additional penalty if you fail to pay after 30 days). The good news: Après Diem has a QR code that members of the Atlanta French Language Meetup can scan for more free time. It's a hassle, but unless you walk, or bike, or parachute in, there's no choice.
