Who we are

Our club is a non-profit organization run by volunteers only. As we cover a large region there are activities in different areas.

Our membership is currently around 650 women of more than 35 nationalities. For many of us joining the IWCR was the best way to start a social life when we arrived on the Riviera.

Upcoming Events!

For the time being some of our activities are suspended because of the coronavirus. Every month we try to offer our members at least two ‘special events’, e.g. an art visit, a special lunch, a garden visit and of course we usually celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March. In 2020 we will had our celebration on Monday 9 March. We usually have bus trips twice a year. For these events, we depend on our members’ suggestions and initiatives and are always open to new ideas.

Join us!

‘The IWCR has been run on a very personal level, the real cost has never been assessed, and it is nothing compared with the friendships that have blossomed, the curiosity that has been sparked and the enormous improvement in the quality of life here for a lot of women – and men too!”

Helen Bate

First President IWCR, 3 March 1996

“When I joined the IWCR I was immediately contacted and made welcome. I enjoy hiking and walking, cooking and playing bridge and joined these groups in Monaco. Living on the Riviera became so much more fun once I got in touch with the club”.

My first contact with IWCR was at a coffee morning in Nice, where I was given a warm welcome in Spring 2004. After that the Club became like a second home for me as a newcomer and I got a lot of new friends of different nationalities. That made my start of a new life on the Riviera much easier and more fun. Since then I have joined endless numbers of coffee mornings, walks, cultural events and many other activities which the Club offers. I am very happy and grateful for all these years that have been so full of joy and friendship.
