History

Le WIC de Paris was established in 1996.  It was founded by a small group of women who missed the international communities they came from and who found that there was not an International Women’s Club (IWC) in Paris. 

The club’s first monthly meetings were held at the Novotel in Neuilly, where 48 ladies joined for lunch and the meeting.  Some of the first activities were: Book Group, Dinner Group, La Cuisine chez Nous, Conversation Groups, Bridge Group, Mahjong Group, Embossing Workshop, Jewelry Workshop, Knitting Workshop, Patchwork Workshop, Flower Arranging and Trips to Tours, Dijon, and Chateau d’Ecouen. 

Every 5 years, we have a tradition of celebrating our club’s anniversary with an extra special party!  Previous 5th anniversary celebrations have been held  at Altitude 95 at the Eiffel Tower, at UNESCO, and the Marriott Champs Elysees.  

In celebration of our 25th anniversary, we hosted an unforgettable nighttime cruise and cocktail party on the Seine.

As we look ahead, we are excited to start planning for our upcoming 30th anniversary in 2026. Join us now and become a part of this special celebration!
