Be My Guest in France is a boutique French immersion experience based in the South-West of France, near Bayonne. This unique program is not run by a large institution, but personally created and led by Sarah, a passionate and dedicated teacher who opens her home—and her culture—to learners from around the world. Sarah curates every detail herself: tailor-made language lessons, homemade French meals, and handpicked cultural excursions throughout her region. Her programs offer a genuine immersion into the rhythm of daily French life—intimate, authentic, and heartfelt.

Our members will enjoy a complimentary brunch impérial at the Hôtel du Palais de Biarritz!

La Boulangerie has been a beloved part of the Bay Area since 1996, when French baker Pascal Rigo set out to share authentic French flavors at accessible prices. From the very beginning, their goal has been simple: to bring people together around fresh, quality food that feels like home.

With four locations across San Francisco and now one in Irvine, La Boulangerie brings a touch of France to our community — whether it’s a buttery croissant in the morning, a quiche for lunch, or a perfectly baked baguette to take home. Even better, some of your already know La Boulangerie as the welcoming host of our Conversation Breakfasts every other Saturday, making it not just a bakery, but a gathering place for francophiles.

Location : 5365-I Alton Pkwy, Irvine, CA 92604

Our members receive 10% off all purchases in the Irvine location, upon presentation of their membership card.

At Marché Moderne, chefs/owners Florent and Amelia Marneau deliver modern dishes with hints of French classics. This is a stunning, elegant and sumptuous establishment that feels and tastes familiar yet original. The cooking follows suit from the glassed-in kitchen with soft globe lighting to the fire engine-red Berkel that's ready to slice their superb charcuterie. The classics, from coq au vin to the poached Maine lobster tail flambéed in Courvoisier and paired with a quenelle of scallop, are perfectly on point. End with a cheese plate or a traditional baba au rum. 

 Location : 7862 E. Pacific Coast Hwy, Newport Beach, CA 92657
