INSTITUT FRANCO-IRANIEN

All grandeur of Persia within your reach. Fariba Alifarhani gave two main missions to the institute it created. The first is to remain a recognized interlocutor and a representative of Iranian culture at local level, whether it be for the relationship of Iranian and French artists or the development of cultural projects: Now, Iran's new year in March, exhibits a 15-day tourist tour in October and April… So don't miss Shabé Yalda, on December 21st, the longest night whose tradition consists of reading books of poetry and then discussing the history of civilization. The second objective: language courses. With a simpler grammar than Arabic, Farsi is also easier to pronounce. If you are beginner, you start with writing courses, learning basic vocabulary of everyday life and conjugation. The courses, under its academic aspects, are an invitation to immerse themselves in a culture of the confluences of the Arab and Asian worlds. For translations, seminars, tourist boards, exhibitions, gastronomic exchanges and outings in traditional restaurants, movies. To sum up, the Franco-Iranian Institute is indispensable for those who wish to approach a civilisation born in the mists of time, and whose Western media magnifying up a certain political reality by masking the thousand and one wealth of that country.
