is excited to invite you to a coveted
members-only private guided tour (in English) of the
Institut de France
Embark on an exclusive exploration of the esteemed French learned society, the Institut de France, a cornerstone of French intellectual life. Founded in 1795 amidst the French Revolution, this prestigious non-profit umbrella organization serves as a nexus for the nation's brightest minds.
Comprising five distinct academies, the Institut fosters vibrant intellectual exchange and independent thought across the landscapes of Arts, Sciences, and Humanities. Placed under the protection of the President of the French Republic, the Institut de France holds a crucial advisory role within the French government, offering insights on matters central to these fundamental fields.
Register now for this comprehensive two-hour tour led by an Institut de France lecturer who will guide us through some of the most emblematic sites. From the main courtyard, the "Coupole" (dome), the Mazarine library and the Institute's library, to the Plenary Hall, small assembly hall and conversation salon, this is one visit you will not want to miss!
