Welcome to The American Club of Paris
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.
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 annual Gala Dinner, as well as our Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and Holiday parties, are truly festive occasions. The Club also offers a wide range of other events: private guided tours of art exhibitions; a monthly happy hour cocktail party; a winter oyster and foie gras tasting party; a wine-tastings; special tickets for opera, ballet, theatre, and concerts; and occasional day and weekend trips. 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. | Upcoming events
