Join our Mini Zooms
The mini-Zoom sessions are 20 minute focused presentations on a French-themed topic. Most will be conducted in English, but we may add some French language mini-Zooms into the mix.
Most sessions will take place on Thursday afternoons promptly at 12:30 pm, a perfect midday break to add some French culture into your schedule.
Mini-Zooms are an exclusive benefit of your AF DuPage membership. Visit our Membership page to join or renew your membership.
Do you have a great idea for a mini-zoom? We would love to hear about it. Please contact us at support@afdupage.com with your ideas.
AF DuPage members need not register. AF North Shore and AF Omaha members, please register in order to receive the Zoom link. The Zoom link will be emailed the day before the presentation.

Le Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris
Presented by Carol Yoken
From sumptuous 19th century bank to high-end 21st century hotel/restaurant/ gym/co-work space/”rooftop vegetalise”…. A magnificent example of bank architecture of the epoque, with symbolic statuary, artistic stone carving, and Byzantine-inspired stained-glass and mosaics. We will trace the story of this designated national monument in Paris’ 9th arrondissement through archival black and white photographs, old engravings, and more modern color images.
