Membership benefits

What are the benefits of becoming a Le WIC member? 

 

Joining le WIC is the easiest way to meet great people who are nice and supportive.  We welcome those who are new to living internationally, those who are living in Paris for the first time, and also those who have lived here for a while!   However, membership has a number of other benefits as well …

Once you become a new member, you get a monthly email with all of the events taking place each month.  Another great resource is the WhatsApp group for members.

Every week, there are numerous free and coordinated events with other women for group walks, lunches and dinners, conversation groups in several languages, games, or volunteering for the community.  If you don’t see an interest group that fits your preferences, you can also create your own group!

Members have a variety of additional options in addition to their regular scheduled activity groups.

Monthly conferences:   From September to June, le WIC hosts a monthly conference with our exceptional guest speakers.

Special visits: We organize visits to museums, castles and gardens in and around Paris. 

Hospitality:  Hospitality is a very special event held monthly and generously hosted and organised in the home of one of our members.

Pop-up events:  These are irregularly scheduled activities which take advantage of what’s happening in Paris as well as the talents of our members!

When you join you will be able to register and access content provided just for members including the details  about all of our interest group events as well as special events and special visits. Location and contact details are provided for each event. 

In addition, you can connect with other members using the Members Directory on the members only website.

Reduced prices to venues/museums.  Where possible we negotiate group rates when we organize visits (for admission, for guides, for transportation).

Special private access.  As part of our special visits program we often have the opportunity to go “backstage”, that is behind the scenes at various venues.  We are often also able to arrange visits to places that are not usually open to the public.

Currently, as a le WIC member there is a special rate for signing up for annual memberships at the Musee D’Orsay (A savings of 10 euros pp for a Carte Blanche Solo or a savings of 14 euros for  a Carte Blanche Duo – couples membership).

As a member of Le WIC, if you are planning to leave Paris or traveling outside of France and wish to connect with a club similar to Le WIC de Paris, our Open Door Coordinator can facilitate an introduction. 

Open Door member clubs will also organize visits to their cities and invite worldwide members.  Members of le WIC Paris visited Leipzig in 2023.
