[1] Founded in Paris in 1883 by Louis Pasteur, Ferdinand de Lesseps and Jules Verne, Alliance Française has always embodied the modern values of humanism, respect of linguistics and cultural diversity.

Alliance Française Toronto was founded on October 28, 1902 by Charles Saint-Elme de Champ and his faculty colleagues to help students learn French.

Since then, Alliance française Toronto has considerably expanded its courses and cultural offerings, especially after the arrival of the director André Petit in 1977 and the election of Bill Graham as a president in 1978.

Nowadays, Alliance française Toronto proposes about 114 cultural events each year including concerts, theatre plays, lectures, movie screenings, dance shows and provides the opportunity to discover the French art de vivre with regular wine and cheese parties.

Alliance française Toronto offers a wide variety of French courses for adults and children of all ages and levels.
