Organization Overview
We celebrate the fact that the French language has been part of Maine’s cultural fabric for more than 400 years!
We offer French classes for children to adults, conversations classes, Art in French, films and epicurean events…
We are fortunate to be in an environment where French is very present, initially because of the historical presence of Franco-Canadian families, who came to Maine at the end of the 19th century, early 20th century. Then, more recently, the large presence of immigrants from francophone Africa, and finally a smaller population of French-speaking European immigrants have contributed to enrich and give a new vitality to Maine francophonie.
So French is alive and well in Maine !
Our Alliance Française supports and encourages rich exchanges between all these communities who share, if not the same culture, at least the same language. I am most happy and honored to help, in any capacity, to build a place for Francophone exchanges, based on fraternity and tolerance.
Whether you are a native speaker or a novice, we welcome everyone.
