Alliance Française Mpls/St Paul is an independent chapter of a worldwide organization that promotes the use and appreciation of French language and cultures through classes, programs, social events, and information resources. The Alliance Française is first and foremost a cultural center, home to international events and exchanges. Some events are "homegrown" and come into being thanks to our dedicated members and volunteers, others are the result of partnerships with local universities, cultural organizations, international organizations, and more. Our instructors are French speakers, from France and other French speaking countries around the world. Another reason to learn with is: the Alliance Française believes immersion is the best means of learning French and we owe our success to that philosophy. In our school, students enjoy a simultaneous cultural and linguistic education.
