Who are we?

The Alliance Française of Saint-Malo is a non-profit organization, founded in accordance with the statutes and aims of the Alliance Française in Paris, which was itself founded in 1883; its purpose is to bring together those who want to contribute to the influence and spread of the French culture and language.

Aiming at offering courses in French as a foreign language, starting in 2005, the Alliance Française of Saint-Malo is run by a twelve-member Board of Directors, who are experts in international relations, in university teaching or in French as a foreign language (FLE).

The Alliance Française of Saint-Malo is located in the international meeting centre “Ethic Etapes Patrick Varangot”, offering high quality accommodation and catering.

The city of Saint-Malo itself is an exceptional location, enjoyed by tourists all year long; they will now be able to come and learn French as well as discover the cultural specialities of Brittany, under the most favourable conditions.

The activities of the organization are the following:

- providing French language classes (French as a foreign language), which take place at the “Ethic Etapes Patrick Varangot” Centre, in a comfortable and quiet atmosphere, in the centre of town and close to the beaches;

- organising events and meetings, in collaboration with the actors of Saint-Malo’s cultural life, in order to promote cultural diversity, particularly in a French-speaking context.
