Our Lyceum Club International of Caen-Normandy was founded in 1996 by Françoise LE COUTOUR (†), originally from the Fontainebleau club, alongside 26 founding members, four of whom are still members today.
In 2003, when Brigitte GRANDCLEMENT took over, the Club had 61 members. Following her were Chantal GIRAUD (2009), Béatrice FIX (2015), Astrid L’HONNEUR (2021), and Béatrice AUMONT (2024). Each president brings her own talents and personality to serve the club, which counts 70 members in autumn 2024.
The Caen-Normandy club remains faithful to the principles of Constance SMEDLEY, continuing efforts to remain “a community of women from diverse backgrounds and profiles but sharing a common interest in arts, sciences, and social concerns, a shared desire for lifelong learning, and a commitment to contribute to the life of the Club.”
Membership recruitment is done through sponsorship by two members of the Club, with the approval of the Committee.
The LCICN was twinned for several years with the former London club, now dissolved.
Our club participates in:
• International Literary Meetings between French Clubs and Francophone clubs (Rabat, Switzerland, Belgium) via video conferences.
• International Meetings: Tri-Annual Congress and Cultural Days.
• National Meetings: General Assemblies of the French Federation of the LCI and Inter-Club Gatherings.
The 12 members of the Committee meet several times a year.
