Cultural Tip
In French schools and universities, clubs ("clubs") usually meet after classes, often on a fixed weekday. When asking about a club schedule, it’s polite to add "s'il vous plaît" or "merci" if you’re speaking to someone you don’t know well. Also, note that many clubs pause their activities during the summer holidays ("les vacances d'été").
