Alliance Francaise de Delhi

Nearly six decades old, Allaince Francaise de Delhi is an Indo-French cultural centre that regularly organises film screenings, musical performances, dances, plays, art and design exhibitions, literary readings and other events on French culture in India. Established in 1956, it moved to its current premise in Lodi Estate in 2004. With a picturesque location next to Lodi Gardens, the buildings make ample use of glass, concrete and aluminium. There’s a beautiful courtyard and a garden in the premises as well. Most of the events are organised in the small but cosy ML Bharti Auditorium and Galerie Romain Rolland. It also holds beginner and advanced classes in French, and even has thematic courses on French music, literature and fine arts. The bustling in-house cafeteria is always bustling with students and visitors, and offers a range of delicious snacks and drinks. The centre also has a branch in Gurgaon for French classes and cultural events.
