Why Visit the Cité Internationale de la Langue Française?

Nestled in the Haute-France region, just north of Paris, stands the Villers-Cotterêts Castle. Originally a Renaissance castle commissioned by King François I, this historical monument in the Aisne department now hosts the Cité Internationale de la Langue Française—an expansive exhibition center dedicated to the French language.

Your ticket grants you the freedom to explore this meticulously restored castle, reopened to the public in October 2023. Wander through the castle's rooms, which now house the diverse exhibits of the Cité Internationale de la Langue Française.

The interactive exhibition unravels the origin and evolution of the French language—a key European language spoken in various French-speaking countries and regions across the globe. As you traverse the castle, you'll delve into its rich history and uncover fascinating tidbits about the French language, from the millions who speak it worldwide to its intriguing evolution over the centuries. This visit promises a delightful blend of historical exploration and linguistic discovery!
