The Worldwide Network

The Alliance Française is a worldwide cultural organization headquartered in Paris and with over 1,000 chapters throughout the world. The Portland chapter is the 15th largest in the U.S. It started in 1933, fell dormant during WWII, and was reinstated in 1983 as a teaching Alliance by co-founders Sabine de Carbonnel and Jean-Claude Paris, who is also the founder of the French American International School. The Alliance Française de Portland is a self-funded nonprofit organization and does not receive financial support from government. Membership dues provide a portion of the group's operating funds.
