Welcome to the American Club of Paris

A non-profit, apolitical organization bringing you interesting events, speakers, and visits in a fun environment to meet and interact with Americans (and friends of America from other nations) in Paris.

About the Club

The American Club of Paris is one of the oldest non-diplomatic American institutions in France (and perhaps the world).

We have always had a dual purpose: to provide Americans living in and around Paris with opportunities to meet, and at the same time, to preserve the special ties that the United States has had with France for more than two centuries.

Over the years, this double role has attracted well-established and influential members from a variety of callings: business, politics, the media, diplomacy, and the arts.

Join today!

A Mix of Nationalities

Most of the Club’s members are U.S. citizens, some of them long-time residents, while others are professionals on short-term assignments. The rest are mostly Europeans who seek to preserve business and social contacts made either during visits to the U.S. or through trans-Atlantic professional and social relationships.

This mixture of nationalities and personalities has forged the Club’s reputation as an ideal forum for Franco-American dialogue by the prominent speakers featured at its regular luncheons at the prestigious Cercle de l’Union Interalliée and other locations of note.

The Club, however, is not only a forum for serious dialogue! Our Happy Hours, annual Thanksgiving Gala Dinner, Fourth of July, and Holiday parties are fun and festive occasions.

The Club also offers a wide range of other events such as: private guided tours of art exhibitions and cultural venues plus special offers of tickets for opera, ballet, theatre, and concerts. These events, in a less formal venue, provide members a more convivial and unstructured environment that can foster the development of lasting social and business ties.

We welcome prospective members at most of our outstanding events. Please feel free to register online, or contact us at contact@americanclubparis.org for more information.
