Here, we truly live and breathe French.
In the heart of Montreal, the Alliance Française of Montréal guides you from your first words in French all the way to official certification by offering French courses, practice workshops, and TCF, TEF, and DELF/DALF exams; it also helps you discover Francophone cultures through a vibrant cultural program open to everyone.
A school, not a platform.

Our values: respect, openness, mutual support, and kindness.

They placed their trust in us
I prepared for my DALF C2 exams there with Ms. Liubov OSTROUMOVA and passed them on my first try. I’d also like to thank Maud for tailoring my entire learning experience to my specific needs. It was a wonderful experience!
It was already excellent before the renovations, but now it’s simply impeccable: very well organized, very quiet, and with individual partitions that really help you concentrate. The staff is excellent: professional and efficient in every way. I’ve taken tests at other centers in Canada, and the Alliance Française de Montréal really stands out. Kudos to the whole team!
What a delightful rediscovery of this text by Duras, which I had studied a few decades ago when I was a literature student. Thank you, Maud!
French is experienced through culture
At the Alliance Française, we promote Francophone cultures through an exclusive selection of cultural events in the heart of Montreal.
