Social activities lie at the heart of WICE's mission, serving as the lively bridge that connects and strengthens ties between the Anglophone and Francophone communities in Paris.

Twice a month, typically on Thursdays, WICE crafts social events that offer  opportunities to mingle and create lasting friendships.

  • Mid-day Lunches: Usually held on the 1st Thursday of the month, our lunches are relaxed, pay-for-your-own gatherings in the historic Latin Quarter. Break bread with fellow members and enjoy the flavors of Parisian cuisine.

  • Evening Apéros: Held on the 3rd Thursday of the month, the apéros cost 10€ (or free for active volunteers and new members) and include selections of wine, non-alcoholic beverages, cheeses, and charcuterie to delight the palate.

Through these gatherings, WICE cultivates a sense of community and camaraderie that transcends cultural boundaries. Join us for any or all of these events and become part of a tradition that celebrates the joy of connection and the spirit of Paris.

You can be kept abreast of our social activities by subscribing to our newsletter, WICE Direct, following our FaceBook page, or by simply keeping an eye on this page.

    As WICE’s year winds to an end and we prepare to take off for the summer, we take this opportunity to have a final gathering with those we know and those we’ve met. This early-summer apéro is a toast to the memories we've created and the friendships we've fostered throughout the year. On this last day before the summer solstice, let's celebrate the year with food, beverages, and fellowship. The board of directors eagerly anticipates your company and feedback, which are the keystones of our continuous evolution. This isn't just a farewell, but a celebration of the long journey we've shared over the past two years in revitalizing WICE.

    Note 1: Registration required. You can pay either online or at the door, although online payments are preferred. If you are having trouble registering, please contact wice@wice-paris.org
