"THE place to learn French in Wellington"."
- AF Wellington student
"I've been going to classes at the Alliance Francaise on and off since 2006. It's great to be able to practice my French with native speakers and learn about French life and culture. They also have an excellent selection of books, magazines and DVDs to borrow, and host a wide variety of events (quizzes, talks, musical performances etc), often accompanied by delicious French food and wine!"
