The American Friends of the Franco American Institute is a tax qualified non-profit organization created in 2004 to support the work of the Franco American Institute based in the Northwest Region of France.
The Franco American Institute is the unique binational center founded in 1961 by the US Embassy in Paris and the City of Rennes, France to promote mutual understanding and diffuse American language and culture.
As an American diplomat recently stated "there are many more areas of agreement than disagreement between the French and the Americans" and the Institute is there to promote better understanding between the two peoples. For many years, the Institute has promoted comprehension through exchanges, cultural and language courses, conferences, an American library and many other programs.

Based in a stately building once used by Patton's liberating army and later the Marshall Plan, the Institute has become an institution, and heavily contributed to the establishment of an American Consulate in the Northwest Region of France, serving the American citizens in the area, business, and the community in general.
The Friends of the Franco American Institute was established to assist in the collection of financial and other gifts to the Institute in the United States under the 501C3 designation of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as the promotion of better French-American relations.
The Friends of the Institute is also a great opportunity for networking in the French-American community and you are invited to join us and participate in our activities including a visit to the Institute in France and the surrounding area.
