The French Institute of Cyprus

The French Institute of Cyprus is the operator of France’s cultural diplomacy. Under the supervision of the French Embassy in Cyprus, it contributes to the promotion of the French language and culture through educational and artistic events and cooperations.

The French Institute of Cyprus supports the Alliances Françaises of Limassol and Paphos, which actively contribute to the promotion of French teaching and cultural outreach in their cities. It also closely interacts with the French-Cypriot School of Nicosia and its annex in Limassol, both of which play a key role in fostering educational exchanges.

Our Mission

The French Institute of Cyprus plays a pivotal role in promoting French culture, language and expertise across the island through French classes and certifications. It is dedicated to strengthening cooperation between Cyprus and France in various fields, including education, language, culture, arts, science, and technology. It assists students and researchers wishing to go to France and serves as a platform for fostering cultural exchanges between French and Cypriot artists and intellectuals, enriching the shared cultural landscape of both nations.
