The Alliance Française of Central Iowa is an all-volunteer, non-profit, educational, and cultural organization whose mission is to help foster friendship and collaboration between the people of Central Iowa and the French speaking world. We work to develop knowledge and appreciation of the French culture and the French language.

We are part of the Alliance Française global network that dates from 1883, when the Alliance de Paris was created. Today, there are over 1200 Alliance chapters established in 112 countries. The Alliance Française of Central Iowa was established in 1994.

The Alliance welcomes anyone who wants to experience French language or culture.

It’s not necessary to be a French speaker or student; just to have the desire to participate in French culture with friends. All activities are accessible to those who only speak English.

We offer:

• Cultural events such as lectures and exhibits.
• Social events such as celebrations of French holidays, wine and cheese tastings, French films, and various other events.
• Conversation groups to increase members’ knowledge of the French language.
