Alliance Francaise
Alliance Francaise is an institution devoted to the spread of French language and culture. The Puducherry Branch of Alliance Francaise appears to have been registered in 1894. It is however of some interest to note that when Capitaine E. Martinet came to Puducherry in 1888 to carry out the printing of his dictionary, he was requested by the authorities of Alliance Francaise in France to be its delegate in Puducherry . By the time he left Puducherry in August 1890, there were as many as 370 members with two branches Karaikal and Mahe.
