Arts, Culture & Community

Beyond an educational center, we offer cultural and social events to live and love French!

The Alliance Française San Diego offers a wide range of French cultural and social events where Francophones and Francophiles can come together to practice French in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, both inside and outside the classroom.

🎬 Film lovers can enjoy our monthly French Film Club and take part in the San Diego French Film Festival in May, celebrating the best of francophone cinema.

📚 We also host a variety of other activities throughout the year, including our French Book Club, Book signings, the Night of Ideas, the Francophone night, social events,  hikes, art exhibitions and more.

​💬 Whether you join us for a social gathering, an online lecture or one of our creative classes, you’ll find engaging ways to learn French, experience culture, and connect with others in the San Diego community.

👉 Check out upcoming events below: A bientôt!
New events are added regularly. Sign up to our newsletter to receive updates about our program.
