There’s a special kind of magic that awaits at Alliance Française Auckland – a place where the French way of life is not just taught, but truly lived.
For more than 130 years, this iconic institution has opened the door to the language, tastes and joie de vivre of France, right here in Auckland.
At the heart of this vibrant community is the chance to learn French with passionate, qualified teachers. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your fluency, classes for adults, teens and children are engaging, supportive and inspiring. Learning French here isn’t just about words – it’s about discovering a different way of seeing the world.
Alliance Française is so much more than an institution. It’s a cultural hub where the traditions of France are celebrated through experiences that delight the senses. Imagine a sunny morning at a French Market, tasting freshly baked croissants, delicate pastries and artisanal cheeses that whisk you straight to Provence. Live music, handcrafted goods and good conversation complete this vibrant expression of la vie française.
This March, the Mois de la Francophonie brings a host of special events to celebrate French language and culture. The highlight will be the French Market on Saturday, 28 March 2026, from 9am to 2pm in the gardens of the Highwick Heritage Building in the heart of Newmarket. A perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and flavours of France.
The year-long calendar is packed with cultural experiences, from classic cinema evenings and spirited pétanque tournaments to French-themed talks, workshops and petit déjeuners.
This year, the 130th anniversary celebrations mark a remarkable legacy of connection, creativity and cultural exchange. Alliance Française Auckland invites you to learn with us, experience French life and immerse yourself in a culture that has enchanted generations.
