From the central website for the Paris library system, I saw that many offer free language classes & conversation groups. Some specified that the classes were for refugees, but not all. Libraries are truly the best!
From the website:
LEARN FRENCH AND OTHER FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Most libraries provide language-learning methods, but some libraries are identified as "Language Centers" and provide methods for learning a great variety of languages (e.g. French as a Foreign Language, English, German, Spanish, Bengali, Egyptian, Indonesian, Pashto, Persian, Russian, Romanian), as well as books, reviews and audio documents in foreign languages.
Some libraries also organize French conversation sessions for adults as a learning aid.
Magnifique Hannah, comme d'habitude. I went to a library in the 15th once to work, and had a wonderful time. Unfortunately on the way out of the library, I went to use the bathroom and was confronted with an old man bending over in the process of trying to take his trousers off: full moon. You win some, you lose some

Lovely blog, merci!
I noticed the same! They’re quietly life-affirming places, I think. Merci, thank you for reading.

Merci beaucoup, Hattie!! Oh no about the full moon. At least we can say that Paris is never dull...
