Honorary Consuls of France are either French citizens or citizens of the host country who are nominated by the French “Ministère des Affaires Etrangères” and delegated by the Consul General of the circumscriptions to which they belong. They are not diplomats by training and are not paid. They are, however, officially accredited by the host country and enjoy privileges and immunities as defined by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations dated 24 April 1963.
The Honorary Consuls perform certain administrative functions; protect their constituent inhabitants and travelers; facilitate visits by political representatives and business leaders, and promote trade, investment and the arts.

The Alliance Française de Saint Louis is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in the state of Missouri. We are part of the Alliance Française global network that dates from 1883 and spans 138 countries with over 1100 chapters.
We foster an appreciation for French language and culture, and maintain a center which serves as a resource for individuals, universities, corporations and cultural groups to learn more about France and French-speaking countries and their peoples.
The Alliance Française de Saint Joseph (AFSJ), in existence since 1977, is a non-profit, non-political cultural and educational organization whose members are a diverse group sharing common interests in French language and others aspects of French culture, from art to architecture, cooking to fashion, books to films.
The AFSJ is unique in the Saint Joseph area; neither an arts organization nor an ethnic group, not a social club or an educational association, but having some attributes of all these. It sponsors lectures, films and concerts in both French and English. By offering the opportunity for the Saint Joseph public to experience French language and culture in a variety of venues, it is an enriching component to Northwestern Missouri's cultural resources.
The organization also encourages the teaching of French in the area schools, and provides recognition to outstanding students.
