Value proposition

Bringing France closer to the United States.

The Cultural Services is a division of the French Embassy in the United States.

Under the leadership of the Cultural Counselor of the French Embassy and Permanent Representative of French Universities in the United States, we craft projects and programs aimed at making French language and culture accessible to US audiences and build partnerships between French and American institutions. We have offices in ten cities across the country.

In the field of education, we work to ensure broad and equal access to French language programs for US-based learners of all ages. Offerings include support for instructors and schools and for scholars and students, as well as teaching resources. Our Campus France USA team manages all aspects of issuing education visas.

Through Villa Albertine, our cultural brand launched in 2021, we provide customized exploratory residencies across the US for global creators and thinkers. We also offer incubators and grants for French and American culture professionals; public events across creative disciplines; and a print magazine and podcast. Villa Albertine’s New York headquarters also encompasses our bookshop Albertine, which is dedicated to French-American exchange around the humanities, social sciences, and literature.
