Where we are, there are a lot of French choirs, who sing some songs in English and welcome English singers to help them.  I found mine by going to the local Mairie and the Library.   Cathy ----- Your children won't remember you ironing their pyjamas but they will remember you reading them a bedside story.    Report

Our French friends are members and we have seen a concert on one occasion. I cannot remember the name/contact details at the moment but will try and get some info for you in about 3/4 weeks time on our next visit to France.   John Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day!!    Report

All suggestions gratefully received. Thanks Lottie    Report

Teachers at the school often run choirs and are happy to welcome new members whether or not they are part of the school. It's best to go along on a Wednesday or Saturday, when there are more people around. Good luck,   Jane specialist flute repair    Report
