Designed to display the essence of French culture, the Beijing French Culture Center opened to the public in a bid to provide Chinese with the panoramic culture of the country, marking a new wave of Sino-French culture exchanges.

The center, a key program in the Year of France in China, is set up in line with an agreement signed by Chinese and French governments in 2002. As one of the fruits of the cooperation between China and France, the center works as a platform for the emotional and cultural exchanges between the people of the two countries.

Located in the Chaoyang district of Beijing, the center consists of a multi-media library, cinema, bookstore, French training center and consultation center for those considering overseas study in France.
