The American Club of Paris stands as one of the oldest non-diplomatic American institutions in France – and quite possibly the world.
Since its founding, the Club has served a dual purpose: to provide Americans and individuals of all nationalities living in or around Paris with a welcoming and enriching community, and to honor and strengthen the enduring friendship between the United States and France, a bond that spans over two centuries.
Rooted in shared values, rich traditions, and a spirit of mutual respect, the Club is dedicated to fostering meaningful connections among its members. Our dynamic community is built on a legacy of excellence, guided by strong, diverse leadership committed to innovation. From our historic foundations to our contemporary initiatives, we strive to cultivate an inclusive space where members can engage, collaborate, and grow both personally and professionally.
