Premises

The Alliance française building is surrounded by a splash of green - a well-maintained garden that is designed to let nature take precedence and is dotted with sculptures by the renowned Balan Nambiar. A part of the surrounding space is used to park vehicles. Together with the basement, there is ample room to park about 20 cars and double the number of two wheelers.

The basement of the Alliance, apart from functioning as a parking bay, also houses a dance studio. When the need arises, as in the case of Shristi Graduation Program, the space transforms itself into a spacious design studio, showcasing artifacts and projects.

A huge foyer welcomes students and visitors to the Alliance française de Bangalore. The auditorium brings together culture enthusiasts. A café with a cheese counter, a TV-viewing space and patio are areas where students and visitors take a break. Six class rooms around a well-lit atrium and a CampusFrance office are situated on the ground floor.

The library with an audiovisual room, the offices of the Consulate General in Karnataka, the Director, the academic, the cultural sections and the translation cell are located on the first floor. The terrace, a value addition, is used for many cultural activities and for a much-needed breather!
