Alliance Française de Chicago

The Alliance Française de Chicago was established in 1897,[1] and is one of the oldest Alliance Française branches in the US. Originally located in the Fine Arts Building on South Michigan Avenue and currently on Dearborn Avenue, it aims to be "Chicago's French cultural and learning center dedicated to the study of French language, cultural exchange, and friendship between Americans and French speaking people."[2] Hervé de la Vauvre serves as the President of the Board, and Jack McCord is the executive director.[3]

The Alliance Française de Chicago offers many interactive events for kids and adults including youth summer camps, French classes ranging from beginners to proficient speakers, and French movie nights.

French language classes at the Alliance offers students different levels of proficiency as well as different lengths of classes. The Alliance offers 8 week and 4 week class sessions as well as Saturday classes, young audience classes and gastronomy classes.
