AFSTL 125th Anniversary Party

Did you know that our Alliance Française turns 125 this year? C’est vrai! The Alliance Française de St. Louis was founded in 1901, and this year, we will be celebrating our 125th anniversary with a special event at the Missouri Athletic Club on October 9, 2026.
More details will be coming soon, but for now, just mark your calendars and don’t make any other plans for that Friday!
But wait - didn’t we just celebrate our 60th anniversary?
You may be surprised to hear that we’re celebrating our 125th anniversary when not two years ago, we celebrated our 60th. No, we didn’t time-travel! But our Alliance Française actually has two important anniversaries. The first is when our organization, the Alliance Française de St. Louis, was founded in 1901. The Alliance Française de St. Louis started as more of a social club, and it wasn’t until a half-century later that our school as we know it today was founded in 1964 by Estelle Powers.
