Thank you so much for your interest in the Bordeaux Women’s Club (BWC). Founded 75 years ago, the BWC has a proud legacy of bringing together dynamic and inspiring women. Today, we are a vibrant community of 250 members from all over the world. Living an international life naturally brings diverse perspectives, and the Club provides a welcoming space for members to form meaningful connections and lasting friendships—enriching our shared experience in the Bordeaux region.

Are you French and returning "home" after having lived abroad? The BWC understands the sensitive transition of "reverse culture shock" and offers a welcoming place for sharing global perspectives.

We stay in touch with our members via this website, a members app (hosted by Wild Apricot), and a monthly newsletter which is sent by email (and a few snail mails!) to all our members. We have created a sample newsletter to give you a window into what we do. Click on the link below to view the sample newsletter (we removed most photos and any personal material).
