The Cultural Services of the French Embassy have made the development of French dual language education one the priorities of its educational cooperation with the United States. The Cultural Services is not a decision-maker for the opening of new French DLI programs, rather acts as a convening body for the expanding network of French DLI Programs and supports advocacy, as well as the development of programs across the United States.
The Cultural Services of the French Embassy promote the best of French arts, literature, and education to cultural and academic institutions across the United States. The work of the Cultural Services is variously advisory, conceptual, developmental, promotional and administrative.
The Cultural Services of the French Embassy are headquartered in New York City and at the French Embassy in Washington, D.C., and have regional offices in Chicago, Boston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
