Permanent visit tour

The Cité international de la langue française is a cultural and living place entirely dedicated to the French language and French-speaking cultures, in the castle of Villers-Cotterêts. The Cité's permanent tour immerses you in the heart of the French language, thanks to a fun, interactive itinerary.

Today, 72 regional languages are officially recognized. Visitors can discover them thanks to the regional language sound luminaires, which light up and broadcast the sound of a language from a region of France, while the region is illuminated on a monumental map.
