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 Puerto Rico is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution whose mission is to spread the French language, promote French culture and francophone cultures , and foster cultural diversity.

We receive more than 1,500 students annually , of all ages, following French courses of all levels . We are also present in schools and universities .
Furthermore, in Puerto Rico, the Alliance Française has become a true European cultural and linguistic center : through a cooperation with the Società Dante Alighieri di Miami , the Alliance Française offers Italian classes . German courses are also offered .
We think that learning a language goes with learning a culture. With this objective, the Alliance Française is also a cultural center offering cultural activities open to the general public throughout the year and receiving French artists and intellectuals in Puerto Rico, presenting shows, conferences and artistic encounters.
The Alliance Française also annually organizes the Puerto Rico European Film Festival and the celebration of France's National Holiday during the France de Fiesta event.
