Alliance Française di Bologna

The Alliance Française di Bologna occupies a building on Via de’ Marchi, beside Piazza San Francesco in the historic centre. Four classrooms share the premises with a library that doubles as a conference room, an exhibition space and a garden. The surrounding streets are pedestrianised or subject to traffic restrictions. For a regular evening class, the approach on foot from the Piazza Malpighi bus stops may be simpler than driving to the door.

French for a qualification or an individual goal

The school organises its French courses by level and purpose. An adult looking for individual instruction or a small group can agree the content and schedule with the school. That flexibility can suit learners with a specific speaking or writing task to work on. Children and teenagers have separate options that use interactive activities to introduce the language and practise basic communication.

For those working towards a qualification, the Bologna centre offers DELF and DALF preparation with practice examinations. It is also an examination centre. Those are two distinct arrangements for the learner to make. Check which preparation group matches the target level and whether there is an examination session that fits the intended timetable. Both aspects can be discussed with the centre on Via de’ Marchi.
