The "Comité France Amérique » was founded in 1909 on initiative of French Foreign Minister Gabriel Hanotaux in reaction to a real incongruity. Indeed at the beginning of the twentieth century the United States was classified in the “diverse country” category. The purpose of this Comity was thus clear: to inform and alert the leaders and the public opinion of the United States’ importance in the world. The « Cercle France Amériques » has now become a real hub and a privileged meeting point of diplomats and businessmen in order to promote the dialogue and the cooperation between France and all the countries on the American continent. It offers its members and guests the opportunity to come to many meetings and events in partnership with its member associations and both French or foreign companies with a high international reach.
