More generally known as “Friends of Marcq”, the Friends of Marcq-en-Barœul was founded in 1987. Since 1991 it has been Ealing’s official French twinning association.
Membership
Our membership fees cover the cost of twinning with Marcq-en-Barœul through our partner association, Les Amis d’Ealing: it is our membership fees and participant charges for activities run by our Association that pay for the events we organise. Annual membership is only £15 (£20 for families).
French Classes
You don’t have to speak French fluently to join Friends of Marcq – our members are enthusiastic about communicating in French but have varied levels of ability. However if you want to improve your language skills you should join one of the French classes in Ealing run for Friends of Marcq members.

We have numerous events planned for the 2025 season. Find out what may be of interest to you.
