The Alliance Française de Philadelphie presents its Trolley Tour of French Philadelphia. We began these tours as part of PIFA in April 2011. Due to the popularity of these tours, we are now offering them to you throughout the entire year.
Theses tours are great for any occasion: birthday, company-wide social outing, school field trip, etc.


To register for one of our Trolley Tours, please call us at our office (215-735 5283).
You will enjoy a one hour and half tour around the city discovering all French culture present in Philadelphia.
