Alliance Francaise de Manille

The branches of the Alliance française owe their success equally to their remarkable degree of integration into the social fabric of their host countries. In accordance with their statutes, these associations set up under local law have true autonomy and are administered by local directors. This formula, which is peculiar to the Alliance française, favors the link between the teaching and cultural programs, as is shown in the promotion of local talent or in courses being run in the language of the country.

Throughout the world the branches of the Alliance française are, to their public, symbols of unity with modern day France. In this way, the network of branches of the Alliance française give the impression of a France which is open to dialogue with all world cultures.

Alliance Française de Manille (AFM) was founded in 1920 and is one of the most prominent foreign cultural institutions in the country today. A non-profit organization committed to promoting the French language and culture, AFM encourages friendly relations between the Filipinos and the French through art and educational programs.

Its new two storey building, located at 209 Nicanor Garcia Street (formerly Reposo), Bel-Air II, Makati City gives you a whole new cultural experience, veering away from the usual hustle and bustle of Metro Manila.

With French language classes, translations, a library resource center, a French restaurant, an art gallery, weekly film screenings and cultural events, AFM offers a taste of France right in the heart of Manila.
