About Alliance Francaise de Norfolk, Hampton Roads

The Alliance Française is a worldwide non-profit organization devoted to promoting French language learning and cross-cultural understanding. Created in 1883 in Paris, the organization is composed of 843 chapters in 132 countries on all continents. The Alliance Française of Norfolk, Hampton Roads was founded in 1969 and encompasses the Chesapeake Bay area from Norfolk to Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, Hampton, Williamsburg and surrounding places. We are a member chapter of the Federation of Alliances Françaises based in Washington, DC.

Our goal is to foster a rich relationship between the American, French and Francophone communities of the Hampton Roads area. Teaching French and promoting French and Francophone cultures are means to that end. To that effect we are partnering with several local organizations and businesses.
