Established in 1889, it is one of the oldest Alliance Française centres in India. Housed in a heritage building on Suffren Street, it offers French courses, a library, gallery and auditorium, and hosts cultural events, exhibitions and film screenings that reflect Puducherry's French colonial heritage and ongoing Indo-French exchange.

The centre hosts French language courses, cultural performances, art exhibitions, film screenings and workshops. The setting is quiet and institutional within White Town's colonial streets, with access to library resources, exhibition spaces and scheduled cultural events.
