Welcome to the website of the Paris branch of the Oxford University Society, open to all past and present members of Oxford University and especially those who are living in France. This site has two main functions:
If you are already a member of OuP, to keep you informed of current and forthcoming activites and help you be more involved in these activities
Members may participate in all events and more generally join in the life of the association. Some events are reserved for members only. For others members benefit from a discount. But more generally, it's a social and possibly professional networking opportunity.
Joining the Paris Branch of the Oxford Society is a way of getting to know a fascinating variety of Oxonians from several generations and nationalities who, for one reason or another, have chosen France as their permanent or temporary home. It's a way of discovering events and activities that interest equally a British, French and international community.
The Society regularly organises:
dinners with guest speakers (including the formal annual dinner)
informal evenings at a pub (monthly)
Business breakfasts
Sporting events (snooker, pétanque, golf, tennis... following the tastes of members)
Cultural events (museum visits, concerts)
Charity events
There are a number of events organised conjointly with the Cambridge Society.
Full members with a desire to express themselves in public are invited to become "authorised editorialists" on the Members' blog, which we have recently initiated. This is a space that allows us to broach any subject for discussion and commentary by members and non-members alike. Members may also use the blog for the publication of documents they wish to share.
