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. Services that are not performed in Philadelphia, and for which it is necessary go through the Consulate General in Washington, include visas, passports, French national identity cards, consular notarial services and obtaining French nationality.
The Alliance Française de Philadelphia is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people learn French and deepen their knowledge of Francophone cultures. We do that by offering a wide variety of classes for all levels, many cultural events and a welcoming community. In the time since we temporarily closed our physical doors in March, we have continued to enthusiastically and successfully fulfill our mission by innovating and adapting our offerings and transitioning to an online virtual platform.
With more than 100 branches in the US and over 900 all around the world, the Alliance Française offers French classes for all levels from beginner to advanced speakers. It is also the opportunity to foster anyone interested their knowledge of French language thanks to cultural events like dinners, movies, lectures and so much more social cultural activities.
The Alliance Française’s goal of promoting and exploring French culture has been an important focus of its activities since it was founded, but equally as important was an atmosphere of openness and welcome to everyone.
