Villa Albertine is an institution of the French Embassy in the United States, supported by the French government and Albertine Foundation. Villa Albertine’s mission is to strengthen ties between the United States, France and the French-speaking world through culture and education.
In the arts and culture sphere, we encourage collaboration among French and US-based organizations and provide creators, thought leaders, and professionals with customized residencies, immersive networking experiences, grants, and connections to audiences so they can explore and share new insights into society’s pressing issues.
In the field of education, we craft projects and programs aimed at making French language and culture accessible to young US-based audiences, expand opportunities for students to study and complete internships in France, and support partnerships between French and American higher education and research institutions.
Villa Albertine is present in 10 major US cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. It is headquartered in New York’s historic Payne Whitney mansion, home to Albertine, our bookshop and nexus for French-American intellectual exchange.

France Science brings together the Science & Technology department of the French Embassy, with offices in Washington, D.C., and six regional consulates, and the representatives of French national research institutes in Washington (CNRS, CEA, CNES, INSERM, INRAE) to promote bilateral cooperation, academic mobility, and innovation in key fields such as climate, health, AI, space, and energy. France Science supports mobility programs such as Chateaubriand, the Transatlantic Research Partnership, and The French American Doctoral Exchange program (FADEX) as well as programs for innovators and entrepreneurs (La Synapse), and contributes to transatlantic dialogue on science and technology policy.
