Alliance Française de Dublin

The Dublin branch of the Alliance Française is the third biggest in Europe and the first established in a non-French speaking country.

The aim of the Alliance Française in Dublin is to promote French culture, as well as to provide a space for intercultural exchanges between Ireland and the cultures of the French-speaking world. The branch has more than a century of history, but has existed in its current form for fifty years.
The Alliance Française Dublin is a French Language and Cultural Centre which also hosts a French Multimedia Library.

Ideally located at the corner of Nassau and Kildare Street in a listed Irish Heritage site, the Alliance Française Dublin is less than five minutes’ walk from a range of Dublin Bike ranks, bus stops, taxi ranks, Luas and Dart stations. The Alliance Française even has its own café on the premises, which is open to the public: bright and spacious, La Cocotte Café doubles as an exhibition space for an ever-changing array of interesting contemporary artworks, and is the perfect place to stop off while exploring the nearby museums.

The Alliance Française in Dublin is also home to the Délégation Générale de l’Alliance française en Irlande (Alliance Française Irish Network). The organisation is particularly active in Ireland, supported as it is by a network of committees based in Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick, Waterford and Wexford.

The Alliance Française is a non-profit organisation and a Registered Irish Charity. You can support our action and become a member!
