History

The Alliance Française was founded on February 12, 1890, at the "Bomba Francia" premises. The group of French residents in Peru decided to form a committee and appointed Jean Dupeyrat as its first president. As the interest of the Peruvian population in learning the French culture and language increased, other locations of the institute were established in Cuzco (1948), Arequipa (1953), Chiclayo (1965), Piura (1965), Trujillo (1965), Iquitos (1990), among others.[1] Over the years, the Alliance Française of Lima has maintained links and agreements with different educational institutions in Peru for the teaching of the French language.[2]
