Alliance Francaise de Charleston

Alliance Francaise de Charleston We are a non-profit organization promoting French language and culture throughout the lowcountry of South Carolina.

We welcome all interested in learning or improving French and looking to enjoy French culture in our beautiful region. The Alliance Française was first established in Paris in 1883 with the aim of promoting French language and culture around the world. The Federation of Alliances Françaises in the United States was founded on March 4, 1902. One of 1,135 chapters in 138 countries, the Alliance Fran

çaise de Charleston was founded in 1960. Its 300+ members represent the mingling of two groups: a French community seeking to stay connected to their French heritage and an American community interested in experiencing French culture. The Alliance sponsors annual celebrations such as the Beaujolais dinner in November and Bastille Day in July, and offers French language instruction, get-togethers featuring regional French foods, cooking classes, a French book club, French film club, petanque games (similar to bocce but with metal boules), a knitting club, and a bridge club. The chapter also meets and entertains visitors from France and assists members in planning their travels to France. Membership is open to the community, and knowledge of the French language is not required.
