The Alliance Française de Denver (AFD) is one of the oldest non-profit organizations in the Denver-Metro area and the only center fully dedicated to the French language and culture in Colorado. Founded in 1897, AFD serves as a cultural bridge and educational center, promoting the integration of diverse cultures within the Denver community.
Our French classes cater to all ages, from children to adults, providing a warm and engaging learning environment. We offer a wide range of courses, from group classes to private sessions, tailored to meet the needs of each student.
But we don’t stop at language education; we celebrate French culture through community events, wine tastings, film screenings, and much more. Additionally, we house a library with over 1,500 titles in French, allowing our members to explore literature from classics to the latest releases.
At AFD, every donation helps sustain our cultural and educational offerings, allowing us to continue inspiring curiosity and connection in our community. Join us on our journey through the French language and culture, and discover a world of opportunities for learning and cultural exchange.

Alliance Francaise de Denver: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Provides a structured program for learning the French language. Also, it coordinates many franco-file activities.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy my French lessons! The teacher is patient, encouraging, and explains everything clearly. The lessons are well-structured and fun, and I feel like I’m improving each week. It’s a great way to learn the language in a relaxed and supportive environment. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn French!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely loving my time spent at l'Alliance Française. I just enrolled for my third semester. Flexible times for classes for working people as well as excellent top notch staff. Highly recommend to anyone looking to engage with the French language and culture in Colorado.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful organization with exceptional classes. The membership is affordable. There are many great services.
Fantastic experience: Excellent classes!
Fantastic experience: My visit to Alliance Francaise de Denver was absolutely wholesome. The people here are very kind and helpful. The best part is that they have all the information on their website and are responsive to emails. The membership fee is reasonably priced and is well worth the investment. All in all I highly recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: Nous Somme parle, Tres bein.
Fantastic experience: Denver's premier locale for French classes and cultural events, bar none !!
Fantastic experience: Came to Denver to take the DALF exam. Very organized and courteous. Excellent examiners for the speaking portion. Fantastic lending library including books and dvds for all age groups; patio and small lobby are comfortable. Good experience here. If you need to take the DELF/DALF and your local AF doesn’t offer it, why not test here and experience CO?
Fantastic experience: Exceptional teachers, events, and great adult learning environment.
Negative experience: Alliance Francaise could provide flexibility for students who have to experience learning disruptions with the departure and (expected) arrival of a new teacher in the middle of session. This is not a public school. The fact the AF doesn't even know who the incoming teacher is is upsetting. How do they know my progress so far? Every educator and educational facility knows how disrupting the switch is for a student's progress. As an adult learner, I have requested a refund for my remaining classes. AF's rude response "not doable" (no reason stated) and seemingly vindictive demands to see emails from their own email server explaining the teacher's departure is appalling and not representative of good business practices. Steer clear of this place - they don't care about you as a student, they just want your money to support their cause. Also: don't ask to see a curriculum! There is none!
Fantastic experience: AF Denver knows how to throw a party! Today, for the World Cup final, it opened its doors wide to everyone to watch France win. The place was packed with great people, there was coffee and croissants and NO admission. AF Denver is a true gem, thanks for everything you do!
Fantastic experience: Excellent for kiddos and adults! Love Les Cocos for under 2-year-olds. Like storytime in French!
Positive experience: The French classes and activities are great. It's a bit pricey compared to other language classes I have taken, but the quality makes it worth it. I highly recommend you take classes with Madame Sabine. She is a wonderful teacher, a native speaker, and very engaging. The happy hour event was great and everyone was more than willing to put up with my rusty beginner French. The reason this place loses a star is that I have had very negative experiences with the reception desk. My enrollment paperwork had the wrong times listed for class, when I first got there to attend and told the front desk person she was very rude and said "well there's lots of classes" and today was the the third strike when I received a very rude phone call accusing me of not attending classes. It turns out they were calling for a class I wasn't even enrolled in.
Fantastic experience: The Alliance taught me how to speak French. For this alone, I shall always be grateful to the Alliance.
