Based in Nashville, TN, AFN offers a comprehensive range of programs and services designed to foster appreciation for French-speaking communities and strengthen cultural connections.

Beyond classroom instruction, AFN organizes cultural events throughout the Nashville community, creating opportunities for language learners and French speakers to engage with authentic cultural experiences.

AFN also hosts specialized conversation groups and cultural activities, including Cercle de Conversation, Cercle de Lecture, and Ciné Club programs that allow participants to practice language skills while enjoying French cinema and literature. Entirely volunteer-run, AFN operates with a mission to reinforce Franco-American friendship and provide meaningful exchanges between French speakers across the region. As a member of the Federation of Alliances Françaises USA—part of a global network of over 800 chapters in 132 countries—AFN connects Nashville residents to a worldwide community dedicated to language education and cultural diversity.
