Alliance Française de Chicago

Alliance Française de Chicago is the city’s premier center for French language and francophone culture. We offer a vibrant, community-focused environment where students of all ages can immerse themselves in the beauty of the French language. Our mission is to promote cultural exchange and provide the highest quality of French instruction through a wide range of classes, from toddler immersion and after-school programs for teens to professional-level adult courses.

Our historic facility features a beautiful library, a professional-grade demonstration kitchen for culinary workshops, and an auditorium for cultural events. We believe that learning a language is the key to global understanding, and our native-speaking instructors use immersive methods to make French accessible and engaging.

Beyond our structured classes, we host world-class cultural programs including film screenings, lectures, and wine tastings. Whether you are looking for a summer camp for your child that explores the art and music of France or looking to master the language yourself, the Alliance Française provides an authentic piece of France right in the heart of Chicago.
