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.

By bringing together "language artists" and French-language works, the expressive capacities that contribute to the reinvention and dissemination of French are explored through the themes of laughter, passionate love and revolt, in films, shows, readings and more. French-language creation is also illustrated in music, with a radio station broadcasting extracts of songs that play with words and language.
