who we are
The Alliance Française Amsterdam is an association that offers French and Dutch language courses, as well as events.
Our team of language-lovers and culture-enthusiasts aims to showcase both the French language and francophone cultures through courses and
events open to all levels and age, starting 3 years old. Thanks to a team of experienced teachers, more than 400 students took French
courses with the Alliance Française Amsterdam in 2023. Additionally, we are the only official examination centre for DELF/DALF diplomas in
Amsterdam.
WHat we do
With over 70 events a year, the Alliance Française Amsterdam is a major player in the promotion of French-speaking cultures. Alongside our community of 200 members of all ages and backgrounds, the Alliance Française offers monthly events (film screenings, literary conferences, convivial moments in French, music festival, artistic performances, panel discussions) that bring Amsterdam's Francophile community together.
Located in the heart of Amsterdam, in the city's public library (Oba Oosterdok), the Alliance Française Amsterdam offers the public a collection of French books for adults and children, accessible to all.
