“Hi, my name is Samuel Coeytaux.
I’m the director of the Alliance Française of Ottawa.
We’re here located at the heart of Centretown on MacLaren Street.
As you can probably hear from my accent, I come from France.
I used to work for another Alliance Française in the Czech Republic before joining this Alliance Française here in Canada in 2020.
I lived on Gloucester Street for a few years and I feel like part of this beautiful community here in Centretown.
So the Alliance Française is a French Francophone cultural centre.
We have more than a hundred events all year long, movie nights, clubs, virtual events, conferences, concerts and so on and so forth.
We’re also a language school, so we teach French to more than 2,000 people registering every year from all across the national capital region.
We have online and in-person classes and we are an exam centre mostly for immigration purposes. These days people are going to take the French exams, so check us out at af.ca/Ottawa.”
