Bienvenue to the creative, international center that is the Alliance Française de Chicago.
All year round, skilled teachers, authors, performers and artists share their passion for the French language and its various cultures with curious minds like yours. No need to speak French to come participate! Our expertise in teaching is complemented by a rich array of public programs (most in English), our wonderful library and a community of welcoming like-minded individuals.
The Alliance Francaise is an independent not-for-profit organization and is not a French government agency.
