Alliance Française Worldwide

The Alliance Francaise is a Global network of 834 French Language and Cultural Centres in 131 countries around the world. It is part of the French Government's cultural network: Cultural Services of French Embassies / Institut Français / Alliance Française.


The Alliance Française's mission is threefold:

Teaching French language around the world
Promoting the culture of French-speaking countries
Encouraging cultural diversity.

Each Alliance Française is a not-for-profit society, operated under local legislation and is managed by a Board of Directors elected among the members of the association.

The Alliance Française network in Australia is made up of 30 branches.
