    Still very unorganized and unprofessional. This is not a place you want to spend your time or…read moremoney. They do have some good events from time to time but overall if you have to engage with hardheaded people this is the place to go.

    I just read the previous reviews of Alliance Francaise Gainesville and am appalled at the…read moreslanderous tone used by these past members. I am a relative newcomer to AFG although I have been an AF member for years in other locations. When I first arrived in Gainesville a few years back although there was an AF group I found it to be nothing more than a clique of friends who used the organization as their personal monthly wine and cheese club. Alliance Francaise's main purpose it to promote and teach the French language and French culture in communities across the world. The French government and the home AF group in France provides some money in support of this mission. When I first inquired about Af in Gainesville there was no set plan for anything. There were no classes, no offices, no plans for culture events nor anyone with whom I could even speak for several months. I was told that there were monthly discussion groups at the Hilton which I did attend but, as I said earlier, they were basically wine and cheese parties for the few people who showed up, who, I might add, had no desire to promote the true mission of Alliance Francaise. I quit attending after the second meeting. Getting a chapter chartered with Alliance Franchise is no small accomplishment and the local charter was on the verge of being lost due to lack of participation by the chapter. Last fall a new influx of younger, more excited members joined AFG and began to ask why things were the way they were. Where were the classes, demonstrations, cultural and social events? As none of this was happening they took it upon themselves to make AFG what it was intended to be. The previous poster stated that the board members were pushed out and a new board took over. In reality, there are yearly elections and when nominations for office came open several new members ran for positions and were duly elected by the membership as a whole. No one was "ousted" though some of the older members were bitter about "their" club being taken over and basically withdrew their membership or did not elect to join for the next year. These new board members all work without pay and devote an inordinate amount of time just because they want to see AFG succeed. The dues for AFG are currently $30 for a student, $40 for a single person and $75 for a family. The Christmas Gala alone last year would have cost more than $75 per person if one had decided to go to a fine restaurant for the dinner and wine which was free to all AFG members. In the past year under the leadership and direction of the new board of directors AFG has started teaching French classes on all levels from 5 year olds to adults. In addition there has been several cultural events including museum and art gallery excursions, and speaking events as well as the holiday gala. A week long cultural event celebrating the lifestyle and culture of Provence is scheduled for September. There is also an Alliance Francaise de Gainesville office downtown that is staffed by board members and one of the several interns now working with AFG. This chapter is now extremely active and using its funding and time for the promotion of what it was originally intended. It is really growing and getting a lot of press and local support. Trust me, all the drama left with the people who were causing it to begin with. If you have an interest in learning anything about France or studying French please give this organization a chance. It has come a very long way in less than a year. For those who may wonder I am not on the board of directors nor do I work or teach for them. I am just a very happy member who is excited about all the positive growth AFG has experienced since last fall.

    The best experience for a minication. I was lucky enough to not know where I was going for my…read morebirthday and it was the perfect surprise! (My wife did great!) Not only is the location a perfect portal to a different type of Florida , but the wagons are all the way in the back so it's perfect privacy. There's also a tent outside to sit and watch pigs take a bath in the fountain. The wagon room we got was the Piggies room! Perfect decor and amenities inside(towels/shampoo/conditioner/tissues/coffee mugs /even games!) Huge bathroom with incredible shower.There is ac but we spent most of the time with the screen door and bathroom window open & it felt great. Included inside:mini fridge, toaster, coffee/tea (included),microwave and a small heater. Plenty of plugs to charge & a full length mirror. We love that there was no tv because we got to watch highland cows instead !! We also got to sleep to rain and it was so peaceful especially waking up every morning to new friends like pigs and sheep! We also saw: 4 highland cows!! , 2 different types of pigs, a family of sheep (+Anya the sassiest girl), cats, dogs, goats, turkeys (that like hugs but scared meee), guinea fowls, chickens and hens, mini horses and a peacock that sounds like Kevin from UP in the nighttime !! All the staff were super friendly including miss Elaine! Truly an incredible place to visit and get to feed pigs all day.

    I've been to Rooterville Animal Sanctuary twice, and both visits were totally worth the 2 hour…read moredrive from Orlando. The animals are well taken care of, the people working there are so nice and helpful and booking a highland cow cuddling session was amazing. You can even stay on site if you want that real "outdoorsy" experience - but it's perfect even for a quick day trip. Can't wait to come back again!
