AVF, "Accueil des Villes Francaises", a national organisation which aims in each region covered, to provide a welcome and introduction to new arrivals and residents. AVF-Minervois was created early in 2003 as the Olonzac chapter of the national association.
Their specific aims are to facilitate the installation of newcomers, both French and foreigners, into the Minervois region. Their selected tools are the organisation of French lessons for foreign incomers and social events and visits to local points of interest for all incomers. The committee is composed of multi-lingual volunteers : languages covered include French, English, German, Dutch, Spanish.
