Alliance Française de Lima – Sede Miraflores

Founded on 12 February 1890, the Alliance Française de Lima is one of South America's oldest French cultural and language institutions. Its headquarters campus occupies a neoclassical manor at Av. Arequipa 4595 in Miraflores, a property with significant architectural heritage in the district.

French at a cultural centre

The Miraflores campus delivers French-language instruction for all ages and proficiency levels, from complete beginners through advanced users. Programme tracks include general French for adults, age-adapted courses for children and adolescents, intensive and semi-intensive formats, and conversation workshops. The Alliance Française de Lima is Peru's official examination centre for the DELF and DALF diplomas, which are issued by the French Ministry of Education, and also serves as a Campus France information space for students considering higher education in France.

Teaching follows the action-oriented approach, which frames the student as an active participant using project-based tasks, and aligns with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The campus is open Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 20:00 and Saturday mornings until 13:30. Beyond language classes, the campus hosts a programme of cultural events, film screenings and exhibitions that complement classroom study.

A visitor can use the Miraflores site for a French lesson, a cultural event or information about studying in France. These activities have different timetables and eligibility requirements.
