The French Library is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to provide French language instruction and cultural programs of the highest quality to inspire our diverse community of children, teens, and adults to explore, understand, and embrace today’s global world.

Our library houses the second largest private collection of French books, periodicals, DVDs, and CDs available in the US. Our school, a member of the Alliance Française network, offers group, private, and online language classes for adults, children, and corporations. 

As a center for French culture in Boston, we host year-round cultural events including art exhibits, lectures, concerts, wine tastings, cooking demonstrations, and holiday celebrations like our Bastille Day block party. Our members enjoy benefits, such as borrowing privileges at our library, and preferred rates on classes, at cultural events, and with Club Avantage business partners.
