Different locations on a handful of days of the week. You must show up with a partner and any further questions can be answered by contacting one of the Directors listed on their web site. The primary language is French, but the players are very courteous and helpful with making you feel comfortable in English, if required. In no time you will be bidding in French ... trèfles, piques, carreaux, et coeurs will become part of your vernacular before you know it. Merci. Click here or the club logo to visit their website.
