Welcome to L'AILE!

Aimez-vous parler français ?
Venez vivre dans L’AILE française

The Truman State University’s French Wing is actually a spacious suite located on the first floor of Missouri Hall (see campus map). Since 2007 it is in the Romance Languages House. Each year the “L’AILE française” a.k.a. “Le Coin français” can accommodate as many as twenty students who are enrolled in French study at the intermediate or advanced level. Activities are coordinated by the French Wing Activities Director (a native speaker from New Caledonia, an island in the South Pacific Ocean). Residents make a commitment to speak only French among themselves, and to participate regularly in House activities, which include:

Le Salon français/The French Conversation Table. Once a week, residents of L'AILE and other French speakers on campus share a meal in the Chariton room, a reserved dining room in Missouri Hall. Here’s your chance to hear and speak the French language in an informal, non-threatening setting!
