The Alliance Fran\u00e7aise<\/strong> (founded in 1883), headquartered in Paris, is a worldwide nonprofit organization. It aims to promote and spread the French language and culture, as well as French-speaking cultures.<\/p>

There are 31 independent Alliances in the Netherlands with about 7,000 students studying French at all levels, guided by French-speaking teachers.<\/p>

The Alliances in the Netherlands are affiliated with the federation Alliance Fran\u00e7aise des Pays-Bas (AFPB)<\/strong>, founded in 1888. The national activities can be found here<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>
