Club members and their guests had the privilege of a lovely private guided tour of the Musée Clemenceau with a glass of champagne in the garden. Our guides were very informative, and the weather was fantastic. We extend a big thank you to the American Battle Monument Commission for their partnership in this event.

Patricia O'Brien, Ambassador of Ireland to France was the guest speaker at our luncheon on April 19th, 2018. She spoke eloquently about the impact of 'Brexit' on Ireland. The weather was wonderful, allowing us to have pre-lunch refreshments on the wonderful terrace of the Cercle de l'Union Interalliée. 

Member Melissa Regan generously invited a small group of American Club members to visit her gallery space in the Marais. She organized the exhibit with the contemporary art gallery Vidal Bertoux to inaugurate the new space with works from some of their represented and featured artists, including Pius Fox, Thomas Muller, Per Kirkeby, and Katrin Bremermann.

Jean Lesieur was our Guest of Honor in January, and discussed his theory about the 1964 assassination of Mary Meyer, the last mistress of JFK and his latest book, Un Meurtre à Georgetown. The Cercle was lovely as usual and did not disappoint!

We had a lovely evening aboard the docked peniche Le Signac, and the Tour Eiffel put on a great show for us as well. Thanks so all who braved the cold and joined us!

The intimate gathering with actress and photographer Stephanie Slama was a hit, as the photos below attest (thanks to Dan Shields for the images)! The private screening room of the St. Germain Paradisio had great ambiance.

Thanks to all who joined us last Wednesday for the wonderful Sing-Along with Scott Sontag! It was really a great time, as the photos testify!  A special warm thanks to our hosts, members and donors Janis and Stephen Goodman, it made the event even more special being hosted in their lovely home.

The artist Evan Roth gave a private talk about his impressive and impactful exhibition at the Mona Bismarck American Center for members of the Club. What a special way to visit an exhibition and share a glass of wine!
